Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish a list of the locations of (a) active and (b) planned surgical hubs.

In August 2022, the Department published a list of 91 hubs operational across England, as well as several new hub investments. This list is available at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/over-50-new-surgical-hubs-set-to-open-across-england-to-help-bust-the-covid-backlogs.

Currently only 87 of these are in operation in England and 57 new surgical hubs have been proposed, of which 37 have received an NHS England approved business case, announced in February 2023.

The number of operational surgical hubs is in the process of being audited and a revised figure is expected to be updated in due course.
