New Hospital Programme Review

Debate between Judith Cummins and Rosie Wrighting

Monday 20th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

Order. I plan to run this statement until 6 o’clock, so I ask Members to please help each other out by keeping their questions and answers short.

[Rosie Wrighting (Kettering) (Lab)]

My predecessor told my constituents that the work on Kettering general hospital was ready to go. It is shameful that, in reality, the Conservatives had no credible plan, and the money was going to run out in March this year. Does the Secretary of State agree that people in Kettering are right to be angry at the previous Government for breaking their promises, and can he reassure my constituents that they will see a realistic, deliverable timeframe for the rebuild of our hospital?
