The Full Story

The Government will be spending more than $2 billion on works for the continued redevelopment of the St. James-based Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH).

The objective of the project is to improve service delivery in the public health system by rehabilitating the CRH to include ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems; mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems; information and communications technology (ICT) and equipping the institution.

Details of the project are outlined in the 2023/2024 Estimates of Expenditure, which will go before the Standing Finance Committee of the House of Representatives, shortly.

For the upcoming fiscal year, works are expected to be done to complete Phase 2 B; commence design of Phase 3; build turn-key contract for the rehabilitation and redevelopment of floors one to 10 and attain 30 per cent completion; and continue procurement of information and communications technology (ICT) supplies and medical equipment.

Up to the end of December 2022, there was 100 per cent completion of Phase 1, and Phase 2, as well as Phase 2A, and 80 per cent completion of Phase 2B.
