1 in 5 of Boris Johnson's '40 new hospitals' won't be built in time for 2030 deadline 🔴 Latest from HugoGye:
Airedale in West Yorkshire, Queen Elizabeth King’s Lynn in Norfolk, Hinchingbrooke in Cambridgeshire, Mid Cheshire Leighton in Cheshire and Frimley Park in Surrey have all been added to the scheme because they are thought to be at risk of collapse due to problems with the lightweight concrete used to build them.
One insider involved with the project said it was “just not credible” to build all the hospitals in the timeframe promised because the scheme had been “massively underfunded” from the start with inflation making it more difficult. Very quickly it became clear that not all the “new hospitals” were in fact fully new, or were actually entire hospitals – many were refurbishments or new wings of existing hospitals.
The Government says that two of the 40 hospitals are complete, and another five have been started. Five hospitals in urgent need of repair were added to the scheme, along with three mental health units.
