This seems to have been constructed in isolation and total disregard of design and construction costs of comparative hospitals elsewhere, both in the UK and France and the refusal to accept that the building of the new hospital on this inaccessible location would inevitably cost more than other flat accessible sights. Approving this site for the new hospital without regard to the cost will if it proceeds be a very expensive mistake.

It is significant that the government have steadfastly refused to visit the hospital recently designed and constructed near St. Brieuc, for a fraction of the cost proposed for Overdale, or to consider the French group who designed and constructed it to tender for Our Hospital. Is there any significance in the contracts for the last three major States projects being awarded to the same contractor?
