Redevelopment of the current Hospital on Hardwick Lane
Below is a summary of the shortlisted site and addresses the three following points, the risk associated with being able to buy the land and complexity of the construction process, the cost of the overall project and the effect on patient care and experience.
The risk associated with being able to buy the land and the complexity of the construction process:
Given that we already own the land at Hardwick lane, the risk associated with acquiring it was negated.
The cost of the overall project:
The estimated costs of a phased development, where we demolish and rebuild parts of the site in stages, are high due to it being a longer process I.e. the longer we require a construction team, the higher the cost. This makes the project less affordable
The effect on patient care and experience:
Redeveloping our existing site whilst maintaining our current level of clinical services and avoiding major disruption to patient care and experience, would prove problematic and is a significant reason why this option did not score highly during the evaluation process.
