Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 September 2026

Debate

Summer Health and Resilience

Contribution

The hon. Member talks about Stepping Hill hospital in Stockport, so I hope that she welcomes the fact that the hospital is one of 10 major schemes included in funding worth £200 million, which is part of the £1.5 billion investment that we are putting into improving our NHS estate. I gently remind her that some of the problems in the capital estate go back to austerity and what happened in the reduction in capital funding after 2010.
