The Ministry of Health is waiting for the results of a technical survey which is focused on identifying a safer piece of land as the site for a new Qamea Health Centre.
Permanent Secretary Philip Davies says the survey team from the Department of Mineral Resources is yet to complete its work to examine potential sites.
He says their findings are expected to be available later this month.
Davies says a decision on the site will then be made in consultation with relevant experts and a recommendation will be submitted to Cabinet for approval.
He says the start date for new construction will depend on the identification of a suitable site preparation of plans and the Cabinet approval process.
Davies says temporary health clinic at Vadradra settlement in Qamea continues to provide health services for villagers on the island.
