Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will publish the detailed scoring of MCDA analysis conducted under the New Hospital Programme Review for individual schemes once those schemes have been completed.

As set out in our New Hospital Programme (NHP) Plan for Implementation, a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) tool was used to support decision making and prioritisation of schemes, including the development of funding options.

The Department has no plans to release the detailed scoring as the published NHP Plan for Implementation provides a comprehensive explanation of how the MCDA tool was used in the NHP review and the outcome of this decision making is evident in the waves individual schemes have been put into.
