To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many surgical hubs are in operation; and what the timescales are for future rollouts of those hubs.
Will Quince
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
There currently are 87 surgical hubs in operation. NHS England continue to assess sites to ensure they meet the definition of a surgical hub and thus this figure may still be subject to change during this process.
In the 2021 Spending Review, the Department agreed £1.5 billion of capital funding over three years as part of a Targeted Investment Fund to support elective recovery, including the rollout of new and expanded hub sites. On this basis, we aim to rollout new and expanded surgical hubs by March 2025.
