Torbay Hospital: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the scope of the Torbay Hospital rebuild has been revised in the context of the 10-year health plan.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The scope of individual New Hospital Programme (NHP) schemes, including Torbay Hospital, are only confirmed and agreed through the approval of a Full Business Case. The NHP will build “right-sized” hospitals, based on consistent and robust assumptions appropriate for local health needs that supports the shift from hospital to community care. To support this, the programme has developed a National Health Service demand and capacity model reflecting demographic change, including population growth, which will inform future business case development.
