The roof of the King's Lynn hospital is currently being held up by 200 props - Credit: QEH The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn is putting itself in the mix as ministers open the selection process for eight new hospitals in England. In October 2020, the government named 32 hospitals which will form part of the 40 new hospitals and is now calling for NHS trusts to submit their expressions of interest to be one of the final eight hospitals. And with thousands signing a petition calling for the QEH to be rebuilt, the trust continues to strive towards its long-term ambition to bring a new hospital "fit for the future".
