"This is one of many unfunded promises that they made to the British people but knew they wouldn’t be able to deliver. They lied to local people about our NHS." Her predecessor as Kettering MP, Philip Hollobone, said: "When, during the election campaign, I warned that Labour would shelve the KGH rebuild plans for a review at best and cancellation at worst, Rachel Reeves herself said that I was talking ‘rubbish’."In just 25 days from the election, Labour have made a screeching U-turn and placed the whole project in doubt."
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: "The previous government’s commitment to build 40 new hospitals by 2030 is undeliverable and unaffordable.
