During the Chancellor's statement on the 2020 Spending Review, James welcomed the focus on the NHS and infrastructure and raised the importance of investing in King's Lynn Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
He highlighted that the hospital is now 40 years old having only been built to last 30 years.
James asked the Chancellor to consider carefully QEH's compelling bid to be one of the additional eight hospitals by 2030 that the government has committed to on top of the 40 which had funding confirmed in the Spending Review.
The Chancellor said he would be interested to consider the plans.
