The full cost of new hospital buildings in Leeds is expected to be known when the project moves to its next phase, NHS bosses have said.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust hopes to draw up detailed designs and appoint a building contractor for the scheme, expected to cost more than £650m. A new adults’ hospital, a children’s hospital and maternity centre will be open by 2030 at Leeds General Infirmary if the scheme goes to plan. The trust said it would press ahead with the development after the government publishes standardised design principles for new NHS buildings under a plan known as Hospital 2.0.

” A report to the trust’s last board meeting warned that delays to the project and changes to the existing design could lead to rising costs. The progress report said: “Continuing delays to the delivery of the programme will present a significant financial and operating risk.” But the DHSC said the project would receive full funding.
