Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his timetable is for releasing funds for enabling works on the Future Fit programme in Shrewsbury.
NHS England and NHS Improvement and the Department wrote to the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust on the 19 November 2020 approving the request in principle for £6 million of early funding to continue to develop the scheme. NHS England and NHS Improvement are continuing to work with the Trust to ensure they maximise the impact of funding available. Any further early funding requests will be subject to the usual approval processes.
