The Health Accord contained little to no reference to a need for replacing St. Clare's, we know little of its physical state and there was no public engagement, says John Collins of St. John's who wants more justification for an expensive new hospital.

St. Clare’s Hospital in downtown St. John's. - Keith GosseIn October 2022, the provincial government announced, via a brief press release, its intention to replace St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital with a new facility.

An assessment of the physical state of the various buildings at St. Clare’s was not tabled. There has been no public engagement on the issue. The announcement of a new St. Clare’s came out of the blue. Its 1972 wing is just slightly older than the Health Sciences Centre, which opened in 1978. The piece built in 1962 is about the same age as the hospitals in Grand Falls and Gander . Why, amongst all of the province’s aging hospital infrastructure, is the total replacement of St. Clare’s such a high priority?

One other alternative would be to get a couple of more decades of use from the newer parts of St. Clare’s.
