Midland Metropolitan University Hospital: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to build Midland Metropolitan University Hospital by 2030.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital is currently in construction and is expected to open to patients in the next year.
As my Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced, and as subsequently confirmed in the Chancellor’s statement on 29 July 2024, we will be undertaking a full and comprehensive review of the New Hospital Programme to provide a realistic and costed timetable for delivery.
The Secretary of State will consider the findings and update Parliament on the outcome of the review reporting back to patients, clinicians, and local communities on the next steps for the New Hospital Programme. We will provide a clear and realistic timetable for delivery of the Programme and agree the investment needed to get patients the care they deserve.
