Yesterday, the Chancellor has delivered her Autumn Budget Statement and confirmed that the Health Secretary will set out further details of his review into the New Hospital Programme in the coming weeks, with a publication to follow in the new year.
This is supplemented by the published Budget report (linked here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/autumn-budget-2024) which confirms increased capital spending for DHSC including continued delivery of the New Hospital Programme on a more sustainable and deliverable footing. As previously confirmed, work will continue at pace to replace those seven hospitals wholly or primarily built with RAAC.
Remaining schemes will be delivered through a rolling programme of major investment, as part of the government’s commitment to providing hospital infrastructure investment.
