Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reasons the new theatre block at Hinchingbrooke Hospital will not open until spring 2026.
External building work for the new theatre block at Hinchingbrooke Hospital was completed last year. However, there has been a delay in the facility opening to patients due to some additional work that is required on the ventilation.
The Department remains committed to working alongside our NHS England colleagues to complete this additional work and open this important new facility.
