<p>The Department does not routinely hold information on individual NHS Property Services’
agreements/projects, however the company reports on the progress on the delivery of
building works at Sidney West in West Sussex, Horsham Hospital and Crawley Hospital
as follows:</p><p>Sidney West Primary Care Centre, Burgess Hill</p><p>An £800,000
programme of fitout works, including diagnostics, x-ray and consulting rooms, has
been agreed in principle with the Clinical Commissioning Group and prospective service
provider. NHS Property Services has been negotiating with the landlords around consent
for the scheme and hardstanding for an external (portable) Magnetic Resonance Imaging
scanner for the past year. Negotiations are ongoing, and NHS Property Services has
recently developed an alternative option for the scanner location. Assuming lease
negotiations can be concluded in the next couple of months, we anticipate that works
could start on-site in the summer of 2018.</p><p>Horsham Hospital</p><p>- The musculoskeletal
project, including works to the hydrotherapy and gym, completed in December 2016;
and</p><p>- A £1.2 million, two-phase programme of works to roofs, heating and windows

works, expected to cost circa £800,000, is expected to commence in 2018.</p><p>Crawley

some customer-requested design revisions and phasing changes, was completed in June
2017;</p><p>- Phase One of a £6 million Infrastructure project at Crawley, including
fire protection enhancements, generator and chilled water upgrades, began in January
2016 and ended in March 2017. Phase Two of this project is currently in the early
stages of design and is programmed to commence in Q2 2018; and</p><p>- A feasibility
