This follows the reporting of the same findings of the review to the Tasmanian Government at the end of February 2019 and subsequent consideration by Cabinet. This report is provided to you in response to your request for the Taskforce to: Review and update the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) Masterplan (encompassing the City and Repatriation Campuses) for presentation to you by the end of February 2019. Investigate options for expanding the physical footprint of the Emergency Department. Investigate a proposal, at the request of the Tasmanian Branch of the Australian Medical Association (AMA) to change the planned configuration of Levels 2 and 3 of the new inpatient facility (K-Block) to accommodate the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in place of the planned relocation of Mental Health Services. Strong and active engagement by RHH clinical leaders and other key stakeholders has led to a robust roadmap for the long-term development of the RHH and Repatriation Hospital sites, as and when capital funding is secured. The review and update of the 2011 Masterplan was undertaken by Silver Thomas Hanley (STH), an internationally recognised architecture and health care design practice, and was informed by broad consultation with clinical leaders of the RHH, the THS Executive, and other stakeholders.
