The Government is committed to the delivery of 48 hospitals by 2030, including Leeds General Infirmary. Individual allocations for trusts will be determined once the respective full business cases have been reviewed and agreed.

All hospital schemes in the programme are working with the Department and NHS England and NHS Improvement, with the support of regional, system and local trust leadership, to design and deliver these projects. The programme will support these new hospitals to implement efficiencies from economies of scale and benefit from building concurrently. The programme has ongoing discussions with the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust regarding the development of its plans, supporting the ‘Building the Leeds Way’ approach.
