The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many GP surgeries there are in Huntingdon constituency.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Government is committed to delivering a National Health Service that is fit for the future. This means we need to see world class NHS infrastructure across the entire NHS estate. Beyond hospitals, we know we need the right infrastructure in the right place to deliver a true Neighbourhood Health Service, to ensure that all patients receive the care they deserve.

Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire is part of Wave 1 of the New Hospital Programme, with construction of the new hospital expected to commence in 2027/28.

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care Board (ICB) is working towards a further four facilities in the constituency. In Alconbury Weald, the Glade health facility is due to be operational from late 2025. In addition, the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB is currently working with local councils to support the delivery of the Alconbury Weald Hub Health Facility over the next five years, along with similar health infrastructure developments in both Wintringham and Great Staughton.

There are 16 general practices in the Huntingdon constituency.
