A&E rebuild at Queen's Hospital
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust has secured £42 million for a complete rebuild of the Queen's Hospital A&E department.
In October 2026, Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust secured £42 million to completely rebuild the Accident and Emergency department at Queen's Hospital. This funding addresses the department's current capacity issues, as it was designed for 300 patients daily but frequently sees over double that number. Construction is expected to commence in the coming months.
The rebuild aims to provide significantly more space for patients and staff, improving the hospital's ability to manage high patient volumes. While specific construction phases beyond the initial start were not detailed, the project represents a major investment in local healthcare infrastructure.
