Bermuda Hospitals Board Update on Estate Master Plan

The Minister of Health and Family Services and the Bermuda Hospitals Board today announced that the Board has entered into negotiations with a leading service provider to undertake a third party review of the Estate Master Plan (EMP).

The EMP was developed over an 18 month period and provides a comprehensive series of recommendations regarding how BHB can provide Bermuda with quality care to meet its long term healthcare needs, including building a new acute care hospital. The public can review the EMP at www.bdahospitaldev.wpengine.com.

Anthony Richardson, Chairman of the Bermuda Hospitals Board comments: “In the interests of keeping the community updated on our activities, we wanted to inform Bermuda of our next steps. We expect the review will take up to six months. We anticipate that there will be no further progress with our site investigation for the new hospital until the review is complete. We will update the public when a contract is signed and in the meantime we thank everyone for their interest and feedback. The Board has received a number of submissions and comments and we hope this level of interest in Bermuda’s healthcare is maintained once the review is complete.”
