<p>We announced on 25 May 2023 that the New Hospital Programme is now expected to
be backed by over £20 billion of investment in hospital infrastructure. This announcement
now brings more certainty at scheme level to enable them to progress with their plans.
We are committed to delivering all schemes that have been announced as part of the
New Hospital Programme.</p><p>Although we anticipate most schemes will be in construction
by 2030, up to eight schemes are now expected to complete beyond this date, as the
programme prioritises RAAC schemes due to their critical infrastructure risk.</p><p>These
eight schemes are:</p><p>- St Mary's Hospital, Imperial;</p><p>- Charing Cross and
Hammersmith Hospitals, Imperial;</p><p>- Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City
Hospital;</p><p>- Royal Preston Hospital & Royal Lancaster Infirmary;</p><p>-
Eastbourne District General, Conquest and Bexhill Community Hospitals;</p><p>- Hampshire
Hospitals;</p><p>- Royal Berkshire Hospital; and</p><p>- North Devon District Hospital,
Barnstaple.</p><p>We do not currently anticipate any further schemes being delayed
post 2030. The programme has been transparent that timescales of individual schemes
are subject to change in line with the developing programme.</p>
