Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding had been allocated to the Hampshire Hospitals scheme via the New Hospital Programme as of 2 July 2024.
Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
The standard process confirming the total funding amount for major infrastructure projects involves the review and approval of a Full Business Case. All trusts in the programme have previously received indicative funding allocations to support planning, however these are commercially sensitive.
Up to the end of the 2023/24, the total amount received by the Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in funding for their new hospital schemes is £8.5 million.
The breakdown of how much the trust received for their new hospital scheme is published annually as part of the Department’s Annual Reports and Accounts, with Public Dividend Capital to individual trusts included in the Financial Assistance Report under section 40 of the National Health Service Act 2006. The 2022/23 report is available at the following link:

The trust is currently developing their Outline Business Case for the Hampshire Hospitals scheme and is at Royal Institute of British Architects Stage 0.
