The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress it is making on the implementation of the New Hospital Programme.

Answered by Karin Smyth

In January 2025, we published the Plan for Implementation, which is available at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-hospital-programme-review-outcome/new-hospital-programme-plan-for-implementation

This plan put the programme on a credible and sustainable footing, ensuring taxpayers get maximum value for money. We are committed to delivering all schemes and are moving at pace with the funding in place for design work, construction, and business case development.
