Better Sooner More Convenient Primary Care - New Zealand Doctor

This option is effectively a Greenfield part-IFHC adjacent to the existing hospital and, as such,
goes some way towards integrating health service delivery, but does not support fully integrated
multi-disciplinary service models to the extent of option 2. The new build area of the IFHC is
less than the other options because allied health and community services remain in existing
hospital buildings, some distance away from primary services. The area of this smaller option is
2,863m 2 , 2,213m2 of which is new building and 650m2 is refurbishment of the existing
Corporate Building. This option requires relocation of DHB Administration to another, as yet
undefined location, most likely rental accommodation off site. The cost of this option is in the
region of $10.785m and includes an allowance for fitout of new DHB Admin offices elsewhere,
but excludes both relocation and lease costs (though these costs should be considered as part
of the overall cost of option 3). The resulting site plan is as follows:
Financing
Private financing of the capital cost of the IFHC is being explored; initial discussions have
indicated strong potential for a private funding syndicate. A key conversation has been with
Development West Coast, which has expressed its interest in the project, particularly if a
freehold option is chosen, and indicated that the likely scale of the project is one that is
manageable for, and attractive to, them. Mawhera Incorporation is a major Maori land owner in
central Greymouth, which has also expressed interest in a financing and/or development role.
