Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to publish a 10-year capital strategy.

In September 2019, the Government launched a new Health Infrastructure Plan to provide long-term, strategic investment in the future of the National Health Service infrastructure and to ensure that health infrastructure is fit-for-purpose for decades to come.

Building on this work, the multi-year capital settlement confirmed for the Department at the Spending Review 2021 allowed us to take the next steps towards this vision for health and care infrastructure and plans for a 10-year capital strategy remain under review.
