Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust were allocated Wave 4 Sustainability and Transformation Partnership funding of £100 million in 2018 for Cambridge Children’s Hospital. The Department and NHS England are working with the Trust on the plans for the scheme.

A cancer research hospital at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge forms part of the Government’s commitment to deliver 40 new hospitals by 2030. The New Hospital Programme is working with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on the development of the plans for the specialist cancer hospital and progressing enabling works ahead of the main scheme development. The Trust has received £2.6 million for the scheme and it is on schedule to commence construction before 2024.
