Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on capital funding for the new hospitals programme.
I discuss a range of priorities on health with DHSC SoS, including delivery of the New Hospital Programme.
The programme was funded at Spending Review 2020 with £3.7bn for 4 years up to 2024/25.
Capital funding for the New Hospitals Programme beyond 2025 will be announced at the next Spending Review, as is standard practice.
