New health resource centre for Cardigan moves another step forward
Hywel Dda University Health Board has taken another step forward in the development of a new Integrated Resource Centre for Cardigan and its surrounding areas, bringing health and social care provision together onto one integrated site.
The Draft Outline Business Case (OBC) was submitted to Welsh Government in July 2014 and the revised version was re-submitted in December 2014. Initial feedback has been received and the University Health Board is now responding to the Welsh Government’s request for further information.
As a result, the project timeline has moved on a few weeks to allow for Welsh Government’s full consideration of the draft OBC and the additional information provided. It is anticipated that, subject to the necessary approvals, the University Health Board should be in a position to commence work on developing the Full Business Case stage of the project in May.
Steve Moore, Chief Executive of Hywel Dda University Health Board said “We are pleased that this important project, to bring high quality care closer to home for local patients, continues to make steady progress.
“We remain fully focused on making these plans a reality as quickly as possible, working in partnership with Welsh government and, in the meantime, existing services within the area continue to be supported and developed”.
The University Health Board is also in the process of appointing new supply chain partners for the project and interviews will take place on 14 April. This follows Balfour Beatty’s own decision to withdraw from the scheme and does not impact on this project or its timelines. Balfour Beatty will remain as the business partner for the project until the new provider is in place. The position of Balfour Beatty on the building for Wales Design for Life 3 will be considered at the Strategic Framework Board.
