Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has plans to announce a funding envelope for the New Hospitals Programme that will increase in line with inflation.
At the Spending Review in 2020, the Government confirmed an initial £3.7 billion for the first four years of the programme. Further details on funding beyond 2024/25 will be set out at future Spending Reviews. The latest inflation forecasts have been factored into the programme’s plans.
