Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of when the updated proposal for the Hospitals Transformation Programme for the modernisation of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital will be submitted for national consideration.
NHS England and NHS Improvement are currently working with the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust to ensure that the Strategic Outline Case (SOC) meets the relevant criteria. A provisional timetable has been agreed and a revised SOC is expected to be submitted for national review in late April, subject to regional review.
