New Hospitals Programme

The trusts are working together, and with other health and community organisations, to bring new hospitals and better hospital services to Lancashire and South Cumbria.

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform our region’s hospitals.

By creating a network of brand new and refurbished facilities, we’ll help local people live longer, healthier lives. By doing this, we’ll also make Lancashire and South Cumbria a world-leading centre of excellence for hospital care.

The New Hospitals Programme is aiming to address significant problems with our ageing hospitals in Preston (Royal Preston Hospital) and Lancaster (Royal Lancaster Infirmary). We also need to invest in Furness General Hospital’s infrastructure in the context of its strategic importance and geographically remote location.
