Update from the New Hospital Programme - NHS England - 22/1/25

As you may be aware, the New Hospital Programme (NHP) represents the UK’s biggest hospital building programme in a generation and will deliver brand new, state-of-the-art facilities to ensure world-class provision of healthcare for NHS patients and hospital staff across England.

On Monday (20 January), the Rt Hon Wes Streeting MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, made a statement in the House of Commons about the New Hospital Programme. He set out the outcome of the review into the programme that was carried out last year and announced that an NHP Plan for Implementation has been published. Further details on the review can be accessed here, including a letter that has been shared with industry: Government announcement on review of New Hospital Programme – New Hospital Programm e

Following the review into the NHP and the funding secured through the Spending Review, a credible plan and timeline to deliver the new hospital schemes has been published. This has secured 5-year waves of investment, ensuring that there is always a balanced portfolio of hospital schemes at different development stages being delivered now and into the future. The government is backing this plan with investment which will increase up to £15bn over each consecutive 5-year wave, averaging around £3bn a year from 2030.

NHP presents a fantastic opportunity for businesses of all types and sizes with a committed pipeline of work. Following the announcement, industry now has the certainty it needs to prepare for and deliver work on the NHP programme. This is an opportunity for businesses to make long term investments in their capabilities, create jobs, drive growth and help in delivering world leading experiences for patients and staff.

To help businesses prepare to get involved in the programme, NHP will be launching NHP Bitesize; a series of strategic engagements to update industry on progress made and the year ahead. Our first event will take place towards the end of February. Details will be shared as soon as they are confirmed with businesses who have registered to receive updates on NHP market engagement including the NHP Industry Bulletin.

Managing Risk at the Water System Interface

Using system hot water (❯60 °C), Horne’s patented ILTDU delivers targeted thermal disinfection at the water system periphery, where potable water meets a non-sterile (ward) environment. Combined with elevated velocity flushing, which mechanically shears and removes excess bulk biofilm, it addresses both established pipework biofilm, and contamination driven by retrograde ingress. This approach avoids selective pressures associated with chemical dosing, supporting control of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, NTM and other waterborne organisms while protecting system integrity, water quality and lowering environmental impact.

Result of using Erythorbate

To scavenge or to passivate has long been the question when controlling oxygen-induced corrosion in feed lines and steam raining equipment.
Here’s a short introduction to a product that allows you to do both: Sodium Erythorbate. It’s an oxygen scavenger and passivator utilising residual dissolved oxygen in the metal passivation reactions. Erythorbate and its degradation products continue to remove oxygen with an eventual residual of water and carbon dioxide hence not adding to the boiler water solids reducing Blowdown.
