Theatres at a Manchester hospital were closed for over a month after a ceiling collapsed, an MP has said. The claims come as Afzal Khan demanded answers over the progress of an ‘urgently needed’ revamp.
The government pledged to rebuild the crumbling North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) four years ago and the trust which runs it, alongside Manchester City Council have drawn up plans for a huge redevelopment but say they are still 'awaiting a decision from central government' on the scheme.
It was one of ‘40 new hospitals’ promised by Boris Johnson in the 2019 Tory manifesto and repeated many times by the then Prime Minister following his election victory.
