Initial New Hospital Programme excluded five known RAAC hospitals until 2023 reset.
Conclusion
When the government announced the first 32 new hospitals in October 2020, it included just two hospitals with RAAC throughout (West Suffolk Hospital and James Paget University Hospital).42 Five other hospitals with RAAC throughout that DHSC knew about and wanted to replace were not then included in the Programme. These five were added to NHP only when it was reset in May 2023.43
