Minister to reveal shortlist of four hospital sites today

After months of speculation and fierce debate, Senator Green is due make an official announcement in the States at 2.30 pm.

Speaking to the JEP on Monday, he said that he was happy to release the findings of all of the research carried out by consultants looking at possible sites to ensure a properly informed public debate.

The senator said that he was committed to a transparent and comprehensive consultation exercise which would ensure that Islanders’ voices were heard before a decision was made.

It will then be for the Treasury Minister to outline how he intends to pay for the new facility, which is expected to cost taxpayers more than £400 million – more than half of the Island’s Strategic Reserve of £771 million.

In all, Health has looked at 40 possible locations across the Island. A website is due to go live this afternoon explaining why the sites that have not been shortlisted have been discounted.

Although Senator Green has not confirmed which four sites have been chosen, he is expected to announce that the People’s Park is on the list.
