in capital projects are critical to providing good quality care. In line with the

Spending Review preparations, the Department is reviewing capital requirements. Timescales
associated with the Spending Review are yet to be confirmed.</p><p>However, Warrington
and Halton Hospitals have received funding through NHS England’s Targeted Investment

additional capacity and provide patients with the care they deserve.</p>
