Stepping Hill Hospital: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what purpose his Department has provided funding from the critical infrastructure risk fund to Stepping Hill Hospital.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Repairing and rebuilding our hospital estate is a vital part of our ambition to create a National Health Service that is fit for the future.
In this context, Stockport Foundation NHS Trust has been provided with £11.5 million in 2024/25 to facilitate the restoration of outpatient capacity at Stepping Hill Hospital. In December 2024, construction work began on the new outpatient building, which will deliver much needed improvements to capacity as well as patient and staff safety.
