ITV News Health Correspondent Rebecca Barry reports on accusations that the government has broken promises to build dozens of new hospitals in England by the end of the decade Work to build some of the 40 hospitals pledged by Boris Johnson will not begin until as late as 2039, the health secretary has announced.Wes Streeting insisted all of the projects will be “delivered” but that plans to rebuild 25 of those will be delayed as he blamed the Tories for having “no credible plan for funding” the work.He accused the Conservatives of leading patients across the country “up the garden path” with a programme that was “built on the shaky foundation of false hope”.Streeting said on Monday the projects will be built in four waves, with seven projects to begin in 2025-2030, a further nine will start in 2030-2035, and the final nine will start between 2035 and 2039.The programme was promised by the Conservatives in their 2019 election manifesto under Boris Johnson and originally committed to building 40 new hospitals in England by 2030.Several more hospitals, some of which were found to contain reinforced autoclave aerated concrete (Raac), were later added to the programme.Labour confirmed after coming into power that it would look at the review but towards the end of 2024, the health secretary told MPs the programme was “undeliverable and unaffordable”.Streeting told MPs on Monday: “I know patients in some parts of the country will be disappointed by this new timetable.They are right to be.“They were led up the garden path by three Conservative prime ministers, all promising hospitals with no credible plan for funding to deliver them and Conservative MPs who stood on a manifesto promise they knew could never be kept.“We will not treat the British people with the same contempt, we will never play fast and loose with the public’s trust.The plan we have laid out today is honest, funded and can actually be delivered.“It is a serious, credible plan to build the hospitals our NHS needs.It is part of the biggest capital investment the NHS has seen since Labour was last in office, delivering not just more hospitals but new surgical hubs, community diagnostic centres, AI-enabled scanners, radiotherapy machines, modern technology, new mental health crisis centres and upgrades to hundreds of GP estates.“It will take time but this Labour Government is determined to rebuild our NHS and rebuild trust in politics.”Where and when will the hospital projects take place?
