The provincial government has confirmed the tender for advisory services for a new hospital in Prince Albert that will cost more than $200 million.

Health Minister Jim Reiter said as much to reporters in the legislature Wednesday afternoon.

During Question Period at the legislative session Wednesday there was discussion between the NDP and government over a request for proposals (RFP) for advisory procurement services for a project over $200 million. The RFP is not a tender for the build itself, but for advisory services surrounding the build.

It is not yet clear what the total build cost of the new hospital would be.
