Richard Parker, chief executive at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said £25m was invested annually in maintenance and to keep the site safe and operational.
He said: “While we continue to invest and have a strong track record of delivering improvements, a comprehensive refurbishment is needed to create a modern, safe and sustainable hospital that meets the needs of our patients now and in the future.”
Labour MP Ms Jameson said the refurbishment and rebuild plans would require “significant amounts of money”.
“It does fall into the hundreds of millions but that doesn’t necessarily all have to be done straight away,” she said.
“We are entitled to a hospital that is fit for purpose and fit for the future and we see the incredible NHS staff who work there doing a great job in those circumstances and they deserve better as well.”
