Asked by: Stephen Hammond (Conservative - Wimbledon)
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
What recent funding he has allocated to Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust.
Answered by Edward Argar - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)
Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust will benefit from £500million capital investment for a new major hospital, providing adult emergency and women and children’s services in one place. A consultation on the detail of the Trust’s proposals is currently underway and closes on 1 April.
The package of capital funding is part of the Government’s £2.7billion Health Infrastructure Plan (HIP) for six new hospital projects to be delivered in our first phase of major hospital rebuilds (HIP1) as part of our broader commitment to build 40 new hospitals.
