Manston Asylum Processing Centre
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent progress she has made on implementing the Manston Transformation Programme.
Answered by Alex Norris
The procurement process is proceeding to planned timelines. The new contract for healthcare services was recently awarded. The single contract will replace multiple existing contracts, set up at pace since 2018, and reflects the improvements that have been achieved since then.
The programme is also working on a planning application using the Crown Development Route.
Progress has been made in improving facilities at Manston, to meet the necessary legal and regulatory requirements to process migrants securely and keep the public safe.
