Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will conduct a detailed assessment of the progress of individual schemes delivered under the New Hospital Programme.

Progress is continually monitored through regular reporting both within the New Hospital Programme (NHP) and into the Department, as is usual for major Government programmes. Furthermore, at each of the business case stages for main schemes, assessments are undertaken to assess deliverability. The NHP continues to work with individual trusts on the management of their schemes to make progress against the dates set out in the NHP Plan for Implementation.
