Background
North Devon District Hospital serves over 160,000 people over North Devon, Torridge and North Cornwall.
In January 2025 the new Labour Government announced funding for North Devon District Hospital's rebuild under the New Hospital Programme would be delayed until 2035. The decision follows five years in which similar funding promised by the last Conservative Government was shown to not exist.
Ian Roome MP and the Liberal Democrats have repeatedly challenged this decision in Parliament, and our campaign to upgrade NDDH's Operating Theatres, Intensive Care Unit and Women's & Children's Unit continues. Critical care facilities are failing, and the delay to essential repairs puts patients at risk - with no alternative acute hospital for over 40 miles.
