Royal Preston Hospital Emergency Department Pic: Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Work will continue on plans for new hospitals in Preston
Opinion: Preston’s cultural challenge and the opportunity after BBC Radio 2 In The ParkIn pictures: Spot yourself at Sunday of BBC Radio 2 In The Park in the Moor Park mudWork will continue on plans for new hospitals in Preston and Lancaster – even while the government decides whether either of them will ever actually be built.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said of the nationwide New Hospitals Programme for 40 new builds by 2030 that it was “not deliverable in that timeframe” – and that a “realistic” and “costed” timeline was needed. The previous government had already pushed the timetable for the Lancashire projects back to the mid-2030s – but they have nevertheless still formed part of the Labour-ordered review.
A spokesperson for the NHS in Lancashire and South Cumbria said: “We have welcomed the review and the opportunity it provides us in ensuring the programme is on the soundest possible footing for delivery. According to the terms of reference for the process, it will assess “the appropriate schedule for delivery schemes…in the context of overall constraints to hospital building and wider health infrastructure priorities, while also looking at where improvements can be made”.
