Frimley Park Hospital (RAAC)
Urgent Action Needed for RAAC-Ridden Building Replacement
Al is fully committed to ensuring the urgent replacement of Frimley Park Hospital stays on track.
Thanks to his efforts, the hospital was included in Wave 1 of the New Hospitals Programme, securing up to £2 billion in funding. However, construction has been delayed by four years, pushing the start date from 2025 to 2028/29. This means patients and staff will remain in a deteriorating RAAC-ridden building for nearly another decade.
Our MP has repeatedly raised this issue in the House of Commons, urging the government to reinstate the original 2030 completion date. He has written multiple letters, engaged directly with ministers, and attended a drop-in session with the Minister for Secondary Care. Al has also met with the Chief Executive of Frimley Park Hospital, the leader of Surrey Heath Borough Council, and other local representatives to push for urgent progress.
To prevent further delays, he is pressing the Department of Health and Social Care for firm assurances that the timeline and budget will not slip again. Al is also working with Surrey County Council to tackle traffic congestion around the hospital and surrounding areas.
Our MP remains in close contact with Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust and will continue to provide regular updates on social media. His focus is on securing a modern, well-located hospital that maximises health benefits and ensures the highest standard of patient care.
Frimley Park Hospital serves not only Surrey Heath but the wider region. Al will keep holding the government to account to make sure this much-needed hospital is delivered as soon as possible.
