James was interviewed on ITV Anglia News about QEH and the new hospitals programme.
Commenting James said:
“Having campaigned successfully in Parliament to secure the commitment to a new QEH my priority is delivering a new hospital by 2030. A few weeks ago, I met the New Hospitals minister and QEH again to review plans and timelines as I know how important it is to give staff, patients, and our community confidence the new hospital will be delivered on time.
Ministers then confirmed work on the new car park to create space on site for the new hospital is set to start later this year which QEH has said is necessary to meet the hard deadline.
There’s no scope for delay and I continue to work very closely with the Trust and to press the Department of Health to ensure we keep on track and get approvals to progress the scheme.”
