<p>Yes I will. I pay tribute to my hon. Friend for the way he has championed this
issue. I have visited the hospital; I have seen it for myself. As he will be aware,
the full business case was received by the New Hospital Programme recently. While
the cost has increased, it is still within the wider funding envelope for the scheme
on that site and I will do everything I can to expedite the process as he asks. I
have asked my ministerial colleague, Lord Markham, to meet with him to discuss this
case.</p>
