Tory pledge to build 40 ‘new’ hospitals hit by fresh delays

The Government’s flagship ’40 hospitals’ project is set to face further delays, piling further pressure on Rishi Sunak over missed Tory pledges. An industry insider told i the Government appears to have “abandoned hope” of making significant progress before the general election next year. The fresh delays raise the prospect that a future Labour administration will have to decide whether to continue with the project, or to abandon it and draw up new plans for hospital construction and upgrades. The pledge to build 40 new hospitals by 2030, originally promised by Boris Johnson in the 2019 Tory manifesto, has been beset by delays and claims that some of the ‘new’ sites are just extensions to existing healthcare centres. I has been told the latest delay relates to the appointment of a building firm to serve as the ‘delivery manager’ – a construction industry term to describe the lead contractor responsible for the overall progress and completion of a major project.
