It may even be possible to pull together a private funding syndicate to fund both projects - a completely integrated Family Health Centre and the eventual refurbishment of the Greymouth Base Hospital facility - if there is political interest in such an arrangement. 6 Buller/Westport IFHC The West Coast DHB currently owns and operates the medical centre, Buller Medical Centre, and Buller Hospital, in the town of Westport. Westport is 107kms from Greymouth (at least an hour and a quarter by road). There is no public transport connection between the two centres. Earlier work has explored options for revamping the facilities on the Buller Hospital site. The future status and size of Buller Hospital is unclear, with discussion currently occurring in relation to the DHB contracting out aged residential care, and the impact for other services of this proposed change still somewhat unclear. A greenfields IFHC in Westport, probably on the Buller Hospital site (there is sufficient land), is a distinct possibility. A revision of the earlier proposed facility is likely to be required to match the revised model of care envisaged in this EoI business case, and to fit with any decisions regarding the future shape of secondary services. One proposed floor plan for a greenfields construction on the Buller Hospital site is as follows: This and other options are being explored. This option had a $16.3m price tag in Aug 2008. Revisions will be required to reduce the capital spend to more manageable proportions. Private financing for this facility has not yet been explored, as further work is required to understand the likely final size and scale of the project.

7 Westland IFHC Facilities options are not top of the list for the Westland District. Hokitika's sole medical centre, the Westland Medical Centre, and the DHB's community nursing & mental health services at the Hokitika Health Centre, are in separate buildings across the road from each other. But the two services work well together, and a facilities revamp is thought unlikely to offer significantly greater benefits, such that the required capital spend could be justified. Both building are relatively modern and comply with health centre facility standards. In South Westland, the population is scattered over vast distances. General practice and community nursing services are currently delivered from five clinic locations. This business case does not envisage further changes to the facilities aspects of service delivery in South Westland, apart from a separate facilities development already planned in that area . This proposed development will contribute in a physical sense to the development of an otherwise virtual Integrated Family Health Centre. The project is the joint development of a combined rural health centre / ambulance station in Franz Josef, which will act as the centerpiece for the DHB's remote South Westland practice (covering Hari Hari, Whataroa, Franz Josef, Fox Glacier and Haast). Both St John and the West Coast DHB have already committed to this project, which will be built on St John owned land.
