Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight have issued the below joint statement in response to the publication of the government’s New Hospital Programme review:
“Following the government’s review of the New Hospital Programme, we can confirm that the Hampshire Together programme is in Wave 3, and as such is now scheduled to begin construction between 2037 and 2039.
“Whilst this delay is disappointing, we await further information before we can assess the full implications.
“We are committed to improving the quality and sustainability of our hospitals and health services and will continue to keep patients, staff and our wider community at the heart of these plans as our programme progresses.”
