AUSBAU SALZBURGER LANDESKLINIKEN

Refurbishment and extension of the Salzburger Landeskliniken on the existing site in the city of Salzburg under the “Masterplan 2020”.

The project will contribute to improving the organisational structure and further development of clinical healthcare services of the Salzburger Landeskliniken to meet future service needs arising from changes in the demographic and morbidity patterns of the target population.

Hospitals are not specifically mentioned in the EIA Directive on Environmental Impact Assessment, though the projects may be covered by Annex II of the Directive in relation to urban development. The Bank’s services will verify during appraisal whether an EIA is required and the screening decision of the competent authority. Due to the fact that healthcare is an element of social cohesion, the programme will have positive social benefits in this respect.

The Promoter is required to respect national and EU legislation applicable to public authorities’ procurement and the Bank requires that all relevant contracts for the implementation of the projects have been, or will be, tendered in accordance with the relevant EU procurement legislation. The procurement practices for the investment programme will be examined during appraisal.

The “Masterplan 2020” investment programme covers the period from 2008-2022 for the new construction, renovation, adaptation and extension of buildings and investments in medical equipment. The project will finance the implementation of the first phase until 2017.
