Success! Queen Elizabeth Hospital to be rebuilt

Delighted and hugely grateful to the Health Secretary Steve Barclay, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt for the announcement that the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn will be rebuilt as part of the Government’s New Hospital Programme!

Five new hospitals will be rebuilt by 2030 as part of the programme, which will see a record £20bn+ of investment going into hospital infrastructure. Brilliant news that QEH will be one of them.

Another Government pledge and commitment being delivered.

Delighted to have supported colleagues James Wild MP and the Rt Hon Elizabeth Truss MP as they have driven forward this campaign. The hospital rebuild is a major boost for Norfolk’s long term healthcare provision – and comes on top of the confirmation we already have that the James Paget University Hospital in Gorlestone is also being prioritised for a rebuild as part of the programme.
