Quebec ponders moving MGH to Glen
The original plans for the Glen superhospital involved moving the Montreal General and the Neuro to the Glen site. This idea was abandoned (this piece reminds us, at a time when François Legault was PQ health minister) but now is in play again because the projected cost of renovating the existing General has skyrocketed.

Hard to have an opinion when we really don’t know if it would have any synergy, what the costs associated with moving things, stocking things and even running separate computer systems are. I think McGill may have finally gone to one card, but at one time you had to have 3 different cards depending on which hospital you were dealing with.
We also don’t know the costs for the government for renovating versus the fees for the PPP. We would have to see much more data to have a real opinion… otherwise we are in the Dunning-Kruger area, where we should know that we don’t know enough to really have an opinion that’s actually educated.
