Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the report of the British Medical Association entitled Building the future - brick by brick, published in 2022, whether his department plans to increase capital investment in the NHS to address maintenance backlogs.

At the Spending Review 2021, we backed the National Health Service with record levels of funding, allocating £24 billion between 2022/23 to 2024/25 to upgrade and modernise NHS buildings. This will ensure staff have the necessary facilities to provide world-class care.
