Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will support plans to build a new Children’s Hospital in Cambridge.

The Department remains committed to working with the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on this topic, as funding of approximately £100 million has been made available centrally via the Hospital Upgrades Programme with the Department for the Children’s Hospital. We continue to work closely with our NHS England counterparts to deliver this.
