The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to his oral contribution of 23 July 2024, Official Report, column 516, what the terms of reference are for his Department's review of the new hospital programme; and what his planned timetable is for completion of that work.

Answered by Karin Smyth

We are reviewing the New Hospital Programme to put it on a sustainable footing, including a realistic timetable for delivery and clarity on the funding required. The review will be completed as soon as possible this autumn. Once concluded, Parliament will be updated on the next steps for the Programme.
