DID YOU HEAR? Austin is building a New $305 million State Hospital due to Texas revamping it's psychiatric system By Stephen Simpson, The Texas Tribune "New $305 million Austin State Hospital unveiled as Texas revamps psychiatric system" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues. The Austin State Hospital, a new 240-bed facility, has been constructed on the existing 80-acre campus approximately three miles north of downtown Austin. The historic Old Main Building, which opened in 1861 and is now designated a historic landmark, will continue to serve as office space when the hospital begins operations later this summer. The modern new building resembles a luxurious apartment complex, featuring 11 secure courtyards and screened porches. It offers single-person patient rooms, each with its own bathroom, and numerous recreational amenities, including a gym, salon, barber shop, chapel, general store, and more. "This facility is designed to simulate real-life situations, allowing individuals to progress through their recovery journey in an environment dedicated to their healing," said Austin State Hospital Superintendent Stacey Thompson.

Here is a reply to me from the Minister for Health’s Office advising that the long awaited procurement of the 42 bed medical project should be completed in Q1 2024 with a view of going to construction towards the end of 2024. HEA-MO-00671-2024 12th February 2024 ‎ ‎Dear Cllr. Walsh, ‎ Thank you for your recent correspondence concerning the provision of a new 42-bed medical block and theatre suite at SUH. The delivery of health capital projects is a dynamic process, subject to the successful completion of the various project approval stages in line with the newly published Infrastructure Guidelines and also taking into account market response noting recent and current labour market and wider macroeconomic dynamics. The proposals for additional beds for Sligo University Hospital are noted against recent progress where 1,126 acute beds have been opened across the country since 2020. This represents more acute hospital beds delivered than in any comparable period since the HSE was established. A service need for additional bed capacity was identified in Sligo University Hospital and an additional 42-bed project is underway. The project will deliver 2 x 21 bed wards, single en-suite rooms with ancillary accommodation. Planning permission and fire certifications have been received for the project. Essential enabling works to facilitate the provision of a new Ward Block including a car park are under construction and nearing completion. The 42 bed project is out for tender. Tenders for the project are expected back by end Q1 2024. A review of the tender options will take place following their submission, and the preferred tender offered the contract in line with established procedures. Following awarding of the contract, it is anticipated construction will commence in Q3 2024 with an estimated construction timeline of 30 months. https://lnkd.in/e-VZxn9H

I fear this is a classic case of confirmation bias, defending a decision made without proper consideration of the options. It is noteworthy from CEO Alice Webster’s defence of the decision (https://lnkd.in/ej9yQRb2) that consideration of alternative sites only took place after significant investment had been made in the Endoscopy unit a year before. Is this a question of the tail wagging the dog? Why is it so impossible to build a new hospital on a greenfield site in six years? Can planning not be expedited if the alternative site is the best site? Don’t let the bureaucrats get in the way of the right solution! https://lnkd.in/ec6ryTsF
