What is the process we have been following?
The Lancashire and South Cumbria New Hospitals Programme is following a clear process to help shape the future of hospital care.

- Understand why changes to our hospitals are needed.

- Develop a longlist of proposals for new hospital facilities, including why, how and where changes might take place.

- Create a shortlist of proposals for new hospital facilities, narrowing the proposals down to those which are workable, and submitting to NHS England for approval.

- Public consultation, if required.

- Submit proposals for new hospital facilities.

- Help us create the new facilities.

- The aim is to open new hospital facilities by 2030.
