Dr Allinson added: “As part of the Pink Book for 2023–24, a review of the capital programme identified several projects that were referred through the design and feasibility process.

“This has enabled the development of fully scoped and accurately costed plans that reflect current market conditions.

These activities have been funded through departmental bids to the Project Development Fund.”
