NHS leaders say lack of clarity over Government’s ’40 hospitals project’ is ‘sapping staff morale’
The i says NHS leaders have called on the Government to clarify the amount of money budgeted for new hospitals following i’s report that Boris Johnson’s manifesto pledge to build 40 new ones by 2030 is in danger of being scaled back.
Since the policy was unveiled in 2019, it has been much scrutinised following accusations that the former Prime Minister’s team embellished the number of entirely new hospitals set to be built.
And newly released minutes from an NHS England meeting held on Thursday disclosed that a full budget still hasn’t been set by the Government for the project, further stoking frustrations within NHS trusts over its future.
