Details regarding the consultation and criteria for major capital investments after 2030 under the rolling Health Infrastructure Plan have not been finalised.

The Government recently confirmed 40 hospitals will be built by 2030, with funding of £3.7 billion confirmed over the next four years. An open competition will be run to identify eight further new schemes, delivering on the Government’s manifesto commitment. The bid process for the remaining eight hospitals is currently being designed, but as these schemes will be delivered in the second half of the decade, we will shape the competition process and announce it in due course.

We will continue to closely work with trusts and regions to ensure when any future process does take place, the criteria for selection best meets the needs of the National Health Service.
