Third party provider to be sought for new ward
The health minister admits the previous private patients ward at Noble's Hospital was just like any other hospital ward.
David Ashford was asked for an update on progress on the new facility for private patients at Tuesday's sitting of the House of Keys.
The minister confirmed a tender process will begin in March to find a provider, with 14 expressions of interest having already been received.
He explained why it needs to be run by a third party:
