To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on progress with the private finance initiative hospital on the Isle of Sheppey. [46614]

Mr. Milburn

Thames Gateway National Health Service Trust and their preferred private sector partner are working together on drawing up a revised Full Business Case for the Private Finance Initiative scheme for a new community hospital for the Isle of Sheppey. The local health authority will shortly be reviewing progress with the scheme and will be meeting my hon. Friend to discuss the project.
