17th Jul 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will expedite delivery of the Our Future Hospital programme funding for North Devon District Hospital to ensure that the new hospital facilities will be completed before 2031.

The National Health Service is broken, and the Government is determined to fix it. We recognise the need for investment in NHS estates across the country, including at the North Devon District Hospital. We will provide the investment and reform needed to get patients the care they deserve.

My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has asked for an urgent report on the degree to which the New Hospital Programme is funded, and a realistic timetable for delivery. He will consider this carefully then report back to patients, clinicians, and local communities to confirm any possible revisions to the schedule.

Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
