Cost of reviewing potential sites for the new hospital (FOI)

​Request

I would like to know how much has been spent on reviewing potential sites for the new hospital in the past five years please? I would like this to include assessing the sites and any plans that have been created when assessing them. Thank you.

Response

All Scheduled Public Authorities (SPA) are separate legal entities for the purposes of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011. Therefore, if a request comes in via the States of Jersey central FOI unit it will be disseminated to the most relevant SPAs that are central States of Jersey entities. 

In respect of this request, Jersey Property Holdings who are at present under the Treasury and Resources Department have responsibility for the delivery of the Future Hospital capital asset project and are therefore the most appropriate department to handle and respond to your request.

The amount that has been spent reviewing potential sites for the new hospital in the past five years is as follows:

The amount spent includes direct costs to external suppliers, an apportionment of project team costs, and overheads associated with the project team office and administration. Project team and project office costs have been apportioned on a percentage basis.
