During this period, an official opening of the site, to which deputies and others had been invited, was cancelled at short notice.
The delay in health workers moving into Courtil Le Pelley is understood to be caused by problems agreeing a rental arrangement between the GHA and the States.
The Policy & Resources Committee, which is responsible for the administration of key worker housing, issued a brief statement on the matter in response to questions.
‘We are working with the GHA to finalise the conditions for leasing the units at Courtil Le Pelley for States workers,’ said P&R vice-president Deputy Yvonne Burford.
‘We are hoping that this will be concluded in the coming weeks.’
Part of the funding for the construction of Courtil Le Pelley was a grant provided by the States from its Affordable Housing Development Fund.
The Guernsey Press had been asking interested parties what was going on for some weeks.
The Health & Social Care Committee said it was not a matter for it.
The GHA offered assurances that it would supply updates when they became available but had provided nothing substantial as of yesterday.
Housing vice-president Sasha Kazantseva-Miller told the latest Guernsey Press Politics Podcast – which was out yesterday – that she was unaware of any constraints stopping the properties from being occupied but said she would be happy to look into the details.
The developer said in July that Courtil Le Pelley was nearing completion and would come in under budget, and the GHA said then that the partnership project had been ‘a hugely positive experience’.
The new development, a stone’s throw from the Princess Elizabeth Hospital site, will provide 15 new one-bedroom apartments for health workers on its road frontage, with eight private homes, all of which have already been sold.
