[Matt Hancock]

I will give way briefly before I conclude.

[Mr Philip Hollobone (Kettering) (Con)]

I thank the Secretary of State both for his commitment to fund the new £46 million urgent care hub at Kettering General Hospital and for including the hospital on the list for HIP2 funding from 2025 onwards. When will the hospitals on that shortlist get the seed funding to develop their plans?

[Matt Hancock]

The funding will be paid to the hospitals imminently, but it is definitely coming, so they can get on with planning for it.
