Care firm to lead part of former hospital revamp

A private care company has been selected to lead part of a proposed redevelopment of a former hospital in Guernsey.

Policy and Resources Committee (P&R) said CI Healthcare would play a key role in the £5m project at King Edward VII hospital site, which would see the addition of 33 "much-needed" care home beds.

The committee said it was "acutely aware of the pressures on the industry" and acknowledged there was "limited availability of care home beds in the island".

CI Healthcare said it was expecting the facility to be ready for use in late 2027.
