A lack of government funding has left hospitals at risk of roofs collapsing and flooding, according to several NHS bosses.
At the 2019 general election, Prime Minister Boris Johnson pledged to build 40 new hospitals by 2030. However, government funding has not been released for most hospital rebuild programmes, reports The Mirror.
At that election, the scheme was touted as the “biggest hospital building programme in a generation”. As yet, only one hospital rebuild has been carried out and most have not been started.
