Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced £3 million for Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to develop its long term plans for healthcare on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
It is part of a wider investment in life sciences and economic growth in the Cambridge area, and will enable CUH to develop plans to meet the health needs of the existing and planned new population, and to ensure the hospital can continue to play its full part in the success of the CBC.
Chief Executive of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Roland Sinker, said:
Today’s budget announcement is great news for Cambridge. The investment will help ensure we can respond to the needs of our existing population as well as developing plans for the longer term, and we look forward to working on this with health and care system partners. This investment will also allow us to continue our strong collaboration with life sciences and academic partners to drive economic growth and innovation which will ultimately benefit our local patients, as well as regionally, nationally and internationally.

As a key partner on the Campus, CUH contributes to a thriving local ecosystem of life sciences and technology industry that informs the next generation of advances to clinical practice, improves outcomes for patients and powers economic growth.
