Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many new hospitals were built in each year for which figures are available.

All National Health Service building projects involve a part redevelopment/replacement of the site. Therefore, even the largest schemes do not involve the creation of a new hospital.

The Government are investing record amounts in transforming the NHS. On 19 July, we announced £325 million of capital investment for local projects that will help the NHS in England to modernise and transform care for patients.
