Hospitals: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate his Department has made of the average (a) capital and (b) revenue funding that is required to maintain a newly built hospital over the next fifteen years.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The capital and revenue funding required to maintain a newly built hospital varies widely depending on the size and type of the facility, and is subject to a number of further uncertainties around operational costs and demand. There is no standard cost that reflects this variation.
