Plans to build a new specialist cancer hospital in Cambridge remain on track, the NHS trust overseeing the plans has reassured, after the government announced a complete reset of the new hospitals programme.
Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital was one of 40 hospitals selected by the former Conservative government to receive funding under its new hospitals programme.
Planning permission for the hospital, to be built on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, was granted earlier this year.
The new hospital aims to bring together clinical and research expertise in a new world-class hospital, with the hope of being able to detect cancer earlier, treat it more accurately and ultimately save more lives.
In 2020, then Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the promised £3.7bn investment would see 40 new hospitals built across the country by 2030 to upgrade the NHS.
However, this week (29 July), Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, said the delivery of these hospitals was seriously behind schedule and announced a review of the entire programme.
She said: In October 2020, the government announced that 40 new hospitals would be built by 2030.
Since then, only six of them have started their main construction activity and less than half of the 40 hospitals have even started construction work.
The national audit clearly showed that implementation was significantly behind schedule.
But since coming to power, it has become clear that the previous government continued to maintain its commitment to 40 hospitals, without having the funding to build them.
We need to be clear with the British people about what is achievable and what is affordable.
We will therefore carry out a complete reset of the new hospital programme, with a precise, realistic and quantified implementation timetable.
Following the announcement, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which is leading the project to build the new specialist cancer hospital, sought to reassure people that work remains on track.
A spokesperson for the Trust said: “We continue to make significant progress on the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital programme, following our business case being approved by NHS England, the Department of Health and Social Care and Her Majesty's Treasury last summer.”
A pre-construction work programme is expected to begin this autumn, including the installation of palisades around the site, land clearing and archaeological excavations.
We remain on track to start full construction work next year, in 2025.
Our current schedule means the hospital is on track to be built by 2030.
