Council leaders have called for Government approval of plans for a new hospital ahead of the Autumn Budget.

The Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust (LTHT) scheme for the replacement of Leeds General Infirmary is one of 25 schemes under review by the Government under the New Hospitals Programme.

Cllr Fiona Venner, Leeds City Council executive member for equality, health and wellbeing, said: ‘The new hospital will boost the health of children and adults in this city as well as regenerating the existing and surrounding site. and promoting innovation and research across Leeds. It will play a vital part in tackling health inequalities and improving health outcomes for people in Leeds and the region.

‘Along with all our partners, the West Yorkshire Integrated Care System (ICS) and the West Yorkshire Association of Acute Trusts (WYAAT), we confirm our unwavering support for the plans and call on the Government to approve and accelerate the programme.’

A report being sent to Leeds City Council’s executive board next week sets out the critical importance of the plans to build a new home for its children’s hospital, with one of the largest centralised maternity centres in the UK and a new adult hospital. The report highlights how the plans will bring a huge economic boost to the city, creating 4,000 new jobs, 1000 new homes and £13bn of economic benefit.
