New Hospital Plans: Public Consultation Underway
26 Jun
Summary
- Hinchingbrooke Hospital has structural issues due to Raac concrete.
- New hospital plans are subject to a public consultation.
- The new site is projected to open by the end of 2032.
Residents of Cambridgeshire are invited to participate in a public consultation regarding plans for a new hospital. Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon has been identified with structural concerns due to the presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) in its walls and roof.
As a result, Hinchingbrooke Hospital is included in the initial phase of the government's New Hospital Programme. The development aims to replace the current facility with a new site, anticipated to be ready for operation by the end of 2032.
The North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust has initiated a consultation period that extends until August 16. This engagement offers the public an opportunity to review the proposals and provide their valuable input on the future hospital plans.
