During Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons today James called on the Prime Minister to include the Queen Elizabeth hospital as one of the new eight schemes the government has committed to.
James set out the compelling case and highlighted how the project supports the government’s objectives to build back better, to build back greener, and to level up and would benefit people in Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Cambridgeshire.
James’ question:
“I share my Rt. Honourable Friend's commitment to build back better, to build back greener, and to level up and I have a project that will deliver on all those things, rebuilding the ageing Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn. I've shown him the pictures of the 200 props holding up this decaying roof so will the Prime Minister make the Queen Elizabeth Hospital one of the 8 new schemes giving people in Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Cambridgeshire the hospital they need?”
In response the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Boris Johnson said:
“I know that my Honourable Friend does a huge amount of work for his constituents. I have seen the pictures that he describes and I can tell him that the application is in from the hospital in his constituency it is under consideration and we aim to make a final decision in the Spring of next year.”
