Health Infrastructure

Health infrastructure is key on the Government's agenda, pledging to build 48 new hospitals by 2030, committing to create a net zero NHS by 2040, providing funding to build new elective surgical hubs/units to provide elective recovery against the backlog in elective care and preparing for the expiry of Hospital PFIs.
