Hinchingbrooke Hospital: Roads
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 12 May 2025 to Question 50623 on Hinchingbrooke Hospital, what is the specific issue in need of resolution that is preventing the acquisition of the required land.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The current issue relating to land acquisition is between National Highways and the Cambridgeshire Constabulary, and the Department is not directly involved in these negotiations. The New Hospital Programme team is engaging with the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust and across Government to support progress towards a resolution to enable the trust to continue their discussions with the Cambridgeshire Constabulary on the potential acquisition of this land for the new access road.
