Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much capital funding has been allocated to Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn Trust to manage reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete plank issues in each year since 2015.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust has been allocated £20.695 million in 2021-22 to directly address the most immediate problems on its estate with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) planks. The Standing Committee on Structural Safety first issued an alert regarding RAAC planks in May 2019 and National Health Service trusts subsequently undertook survey work in 2020. Therefore, no other central funding was allocated for this specific purpose prior to this date.
