Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Karin Smyth and Ben Spencer

Tuesday 22nd July 2025 Commons Chamber

[Dr Ben Spencer (Runnymede and Weybridge) (Con)]

Eight years ago, Weybridge community hospital burned down. After a long journey, the replacement finally received planning consent last week; all it needs now is for the Secretary of State to sign the cheque on the dotted line. Will he do so as soon as possible?

[The Minister for Secondary Care (Karin Smyth)]

The business case for the rebuild of the health centre has been submitted to NHS England for review, and NHS Property Services will in parallel be asked to approve the capital funding. Subject to those approvals, a new health centre will be fully completed in 2027.
