Health Centres: Weybridge

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent progress his Department has made on building a new healthcare facility to replace Weybridge Community Hospital.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Since the fire at Weybridge Community Hospital in 2017, the NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board (ICB) has been working on plans to develop a replacement health centre. The planning application is due to be submitted shortly, following a public consultation to be held this month. Pending the approval of the planning application, the ICB will then submit a business case seeking approval for the funding for the new facility, which will be delivered by NHS Property Services. As with all schemes, this will need to be considered alongside other capital investment priorities, in the light of the forthcoming Spending Review.
