None of Boris Johnson’s 40 ‘new hospitals’ will be fully built by the next election, an NHS chief predicted today.
Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation which speaks for health trusts across the country, spoke out as the audit watchdog probes the notorious 2019 election pledge.
Officials previously said the “new hospitals” include refurbishments and new wings, not just new buildings, and six were due for completion by 2025 with the rest by 2030.
