The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will provide financial support to the Royal Berkshire Hospital NHS Trust prior to 2030 to assist them in securing land for the reconstruction of the Royal Berkshire Hospital.

Answered by Karin Smyth

As part of the New Hospital Programme announcement on 20 January, it was confirmed that the Royal Berkshire Hospital scheme is part of Wave 3, and would not begin main construction until 2037/39. We will continue to engage with trusts to establish the activities that should be progressed ahead of their main construction start.
