The Medical Specialist Group has purchased its premises, Alexandra House and Mill House, from Vignon Properties to secure a long-term base for outpatient services for the island.
Vignon Properties was formed by the founding partners of the MSG and the deal is worth £7 million.
Dr Gary Yarwood, consultant anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine and Chair of the MSG, said: “We are very grateful to the founding doctors of the MSG who built Alexandra House in 1992 and later Mill House. But with the passage of time they have all now retired, so it was important for us as today’s partners to secure the buildings as medical practices. The deal achieves both security for our patients and the legacy of our pioneering founders.”
“We are in a great location, close to the hospital for our consultants and with space for clinics and for the parking that outpatients need. We run up to 22 clinics at a time, with around 300 patients a day visiting us, along with their partners and families. More than 90% of patients visit us by car.”
“Securing our premises now allows us to go on to explore the possibility of developing Braye Lodge or alternative sites to meet the longer term needs of Guernsey patients, with an expected growth in need due to demography and technological developments.”
Dr Yarwood continued: “In line with our partnership approach we have kept the Committee for Health and Social Care fully informed of progress with the transaction that has completed today.”
