Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what approvals are outstanding for new building works at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.
Alastair Burt, Minister of State for Community and Social Care: An Outline Business Case for the ‘Teaching, Trauma and Tertiary care’ (‘3Ts’) redevelopment at the Royal Sussex County Hospital was approved in May 2014. The Trust has subsequently prepared a Full Business Case (FBC) which needs to be approved before new building works can commence. The FBC requires approval from the NHS Trust Development Authority, the Department and HM Treasury.
