On 15 July 2021 the Government announced the selection process for the further eight new hospitals, the next phase of implementation of its Health Infrastructure Plan. The proposal for trusts to submit an Expression of Interest to be one of the next eight closed on 9 September 2021. This is the first of a two-stage selection process. It will be followed by a more detailed process for schemes that are selected for the longlist. These longlisted schemes will be announced shortly and the selected eight schemes announced later in the year.

We are committed to a balanced and robust selection process. The analysis will take some time, which means that while this process is ongoing, we are unable to comment on individual submissions.
