The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his planned timetable is for completion of the new Basingstoke and North Hampshire hospital.

Answered by Karin Smyth

We recognise the need for investment in National Health Service estates across the country, including in Hampshire. We will provide the investment and reform needed to get patients the care they deserve.

As my Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced, and as subsequently confirmed in my Rt hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer’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.
