Description
In order to overhaul and improve its healthcare services, APHM is implementing a wide-reaching modernisation programme over the period 2004-2009. This involves the restructuring of a large number of services, renovation of parts of certain buildings and new construction.
Objectives
The programme is aimed at centralising certain activities in order to establish specialist services on two sites and organise permanent medical centres on two others. This principle of concentrating and streamlining medical is embodied in the 2007 Hospitals Plan and aims to meet the objectives of the Regional Health Organisation Outline Plan (SROS).
Sector(s)
Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)
Around EUR 300 million.
Total cost (Approximate amount)
Around EUR 1.13 billion.
Environmental aspects
The healthcare sector is not explicitly referred to in Annex II of Directive 97/11/EC. Nonetheless, given its potential impact on urban development, the project may come under Annex II of Directive 97/11/EC amending Directive 85/337/EEC. These aspects, particularly the possible need to carry out an environmental impact assessment (EIA), will be examined as part of the appraisal.
Procurement
The tendering procedures applied by French hospitals are required to comply with EU procurement directives.
