The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 19 February 2025 to Question 29563 on General Practitioners: Finance, what projects he has discussed with the NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Primary Care Utilisation and Modernisation Fund was announced during the 2024 Spending Review, and provides new capital funding of £102 million for the 2025/26 financial year to support improvements in the primary care estate.

The Department and NHS England have worked with the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board to prioritise high-impact projects where investment can unlock significant productivity gains and additional usable space from existing buildings. We are unable to publish the details while the assessment of those schemes is still ongoing, to ensure each project is judged on its own merit.
