Old hospital cultural strategy (FOI)

Request

The Creative Island An Arts Strategy for Jersey 2022-27 (published March 2022) on page 34 says that:

"A cultural strategy is being developed for the old hospital site, with new arts infrastructure under consideration."

Could you tell me:

A

Who is developing a cultural strategy for the old hospital site?

B

When this strategy will be completed?

Response

The Creative Island An Arts Strategy for Jersey 2022-27 (published March 2022) contains a typographical error on page 34. It should instead read: 

"A cultural strategy is being developed for the new hospital site, with new arts infrastructure under consideration."  

The error has been corrected and the amended version is now available:

A

A public arts strategy for the new hospital site has been developed by a specialist ‘arts in health’ adviser, as part of the Our Hospital Project. The strategy has been developed in consultation with local arts and cultural organisations/stakeholders, and Government of Jersey’s (GoJ) Department for the Economy. 

The Our Hospital Project Public Arts Strategy Statement was completed and submitted as part of the main hospital planning application in November 2021:

In line with the planning conditions issued as part of the planning consent for the Our Hospital Project, further development of a ‘detailed Public Art Strategy and Implementation Programme’ will be undertaken in due course.

B

It should be noted that there is currently no arts strategy for the old hospital site.
