Option 2 - IFHC integrated with Grey Hospital master plan<br />

The second option integrates with the staged development proposed in the Grey Hospital<br />

masterplan. It proposes a 3,385m2 gross floor area for the IFHC component, 1,395m2 of which<br />

is refurbishment to existing hospital buildings and 1,990m2 is new building.<br />

This option tightly integrates with the proposed new hospital, such that the strategic aims of<br />

both IFHC and hospital developments can be most effectively achieved. This option is the only<br />

one of the three that allows optimum integration of primary care, hospital-based care and<br />

community services in one location and fully supports an integrated, multi-disciplinary model of<br />

health service delivery in Greymouth across the primary-secondary continuum. It also makes<br />

most effective use of existing buildings, thereby reducing the amount of new building required,<br />

avoiding duplication of services and facilities. The combined cost estimate is $76.545m, with<br />

the IFHC component being $10.1m and the hospital component being $66.445m. The IFHC could<br />

be built as the first stage of this project.<br />

Option 3 - IFHC located adjacent to existing Grey Hospital<br />

The third option is also on the Grey Base Hospital site. However, it assumes that no funds are<br />

made available for the Grey Base Hospital rebuild, locates the IFHC adjacent to the existing<br />

hospital without connecting the two, and assumes that both allied health services and the office<br />

bases of the likes of community nurses and mental health services would remain in existing<br />

hospital buildings, even though their clinical contact with patients would occur within the IFHC.<br />
