The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much (a) capital funding and (b) revenue funding has been allocated for the purchase of land near Junction 7 of the M3 for development of a new hospital for Basingstoke and North Hampshire.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The New Hospital Programme confirmed to the Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on 7 May that it has included provision for the purchase of land for their scheme in this financial year’s capital budget. Revenue budget is not expected to be needed.

The funding amount will be confirmed once the short form business case is approved as per the business case process set out in HM Treasury’s Green Book.
