The National Health Service landscape needs to continually evolve to ensure it can provide high quality patient care.
Any decision to offer a voluntary exit scheme is a matter for local employers and will be based on local service and staffing needs.
Decisions about recruitment are a matter for individual NHS employers, who manage this at a local level to ensure they have the staff they need to deliver safe and effective care.
The 10 Year Workforce Plan will ensure the NHS has the right people in the right places, with the right skills to care for patients, when they need it.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will ensure that Torbay Hospital retains adequate staffing levels to ensure the long-term sustainability and safety of acute, urgent and community healthcare services following the implementation of voluntary redundancy schemes.

That this House celebrates the tireless dedication and professionalism of staff at Torbay Hospital, as well as health and social care staff across Torbay and Devon; notes with concern the scale of required savings and spending cuts across Devon NHS Trusts and the potential impact on the quality, safety, and accessibility of local health services; further notes with concern that, despite increases in employer National Insurance Contributions, Torbay Hospital is not receiving sufficient financial support to meet rising demand and cost pressures, including for its more deprived and older populations; commends the importance of maintaining Torbay as a fully functional general hospital serving communities across Torbay, the South Hams and Teignbridge, providing core services including urgent and emergency care, cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, surgery, maternity, gynaecology, services for children and young people, and outpatient services, supported by essential diagnostic, pharmacy, and therapy services to ensure comprehensive acute care for all who depend upon it; and praises the efforts of the local community in highlighting the risks associated with any reduction in the capacity and capability at the Hospital, including hospital staff, patients and campaigners such as the Heart Campaign.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether interim capital support will be provided for the estate at Torbay Hospital ahead of full redevelopment.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether interim capital support will be provided for the estate at Torbay Hospital ahead of full redevelopment.
We are supporting the Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust to ensure Torbay Hospital remains safe, comfortable, and capable of delivering high quality National Health Service care ahead of the delivery of a replacement hospital. As a first step towards this, Torbay Hospital received over £9.7 million from the Estates Safety Fund in 2025/26 for vital works.
The Estates Safety Fund will continue over the next nine years with a total of £6.75 billion of investment to continue addressing poor quality estate. The NHS South West Region, responsible for Torbay Hospital, has been allocated £271.2 million from the Estates Safety Fund for the 2026/27 to 2029/30 period, alongside a further £339.0 million in planning assumption to 2034/35.
The regional teams are currently prioritising the funding between hospital sites across the South West, including allocations for this financial year, and will be considering the needs of Torbay Hospital as part of this process.
In addition to national capital, the Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust has been allocated £82.4 million in operational capital across 2026/27 to 2029/30, which can be allocated to local priorities, including estates works.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the scope of the Torbay Hospital rebuild has been revised in the context of the 10-year health plan.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the scope of the Torbay Hospital rebuild has been revised in the context of the 10-year health plan.
The scope of individual New Hospital Programme (NHP) schemes, including Torbay Hospital, are only confirmed and agreed through the approval of a Full Business Case. The NHP will build “right-sized” hospitals, based on consistent and robust assumptions appropriate for local health needs that supports the shift from hospital to community care. To support this, the programme has developed a National Health Service demand and capacity model reflecting demographic change, including population growth, which will inform future business case development.

I congratulate my hon. Friend on bringing the NHS in the south-west into the spotlight. Does he agree that the pressures on Musgrove Park hospital, due to the closure of the Yeovil maternity unit, put staff in an almost impossible position, with 30° heat in summer and leaking roofs and...

That is very insightful. After being around medics for many years, I know the concern about the increase in managers. Equally, I know that integrated care boards, which I will come on to now, have real challenges with the savings that they are making. There is talk of merging ICBs,...

I welcome and echo the hon. Member’s comment about an inappropriate marriage in respect of the Devon and Cornwall ICBs. They have quite different issues. I commend the work of Cornwall’s ICB, of course, but we have to recognise the specificities of the peninsula penalty and the unique challenges facing...

That is also very insightful. There are lots of good staff throughout the NHS, including in ICBs. It is about unlocking their potential, which I hope the Minister can do.
I was suggesting a bigger footprint, which could include Somerset and maybe even Dorset, as well as Devon and Cornwall, to...

I was not expecting to be called first, but thank you very much, Dr Huq.
Each year, Cornwall, which has a population of 650,000, welcomes around 4 million visitors, drawn by our beautiful beaches and coastline. Tourism is a key part of our economy and provides a livelihood for many, but...

In less than a year, this Government have recruited 1,700 new GPs, delivered 3.5 million new appointments and cut waiting lists by more than 200,000. Just today, we heard in the Chamber the good news from the spending review: a record cash investment increase, in real terms, of 3% every...

My hon. Friend makes a powerful point. I, of course, welcome that investment and it will benefit both his constituents and mine.
We are also seeing significant investments in the Royal Bournemouth hospital. Just yesterday, I was standing on top of the Coast building at the hospital, at the topping-out ceremony....
