The Government will break its election promise to build 40 new hospitals by 2030, a report by the public spending watchdog predicts PMGallagher1 reports

The approach to achieving key objectives at the lowest possible cost could also result in hospitals that are too small, according to the watchdog, as modelling assumptions may be unrealistic about the extent to which care in future will be provided outside hospitals.

“Delivery so far has been slower than expected, both on individual schemes and in developing the Hospital 2.0 template, which has delayed programme funding decisions. “New hospitals that should have been built under the national programme have been delayed and this has only increased the overall cost to taxpayers.”
