The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he will set out the (a) infrastructure upgrades and (b) environmental sustainability measures to be incorporated into the rebuilding of Frimley Park Hospital under the New Hospitals Programme.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Frimley Park Hospital is a Wave 1 scheme in the New Hospital Programme and is expected to enter construction between 2028 and 2029. The final construction timetable will be set out in the Full Business Case for the main scheme.

Through business case development, the trust will set out the infrastructure upgrades and environmental sustainability measures for the new hospital in line with HM Treasury Green Book guidance and usual assurance processes.

New hospitals delivered through the programme are being designed to comply with relevant regulations and the NHS Net Zero Building Standard. Onward Wave 1 schemes will be net zero carbon, and new builds are expected to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’.
