Almost half of 40 hospitals promised by Conservatives delayed, says health secretary

Almost half of the 40 hospitals promised by the previous Conservative government have been delayed, according to Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
The completion of 18 projects will now occur between 2030 and 2039, instead of by the original 2030 deadline, Wes Streeting stated.
The previous government promised £20bn in funding, which was 'never delivered,' as stated in a government announcement today.
The new plans include £15bn over five years, with Streeting asserting that they provide an 'honest, realistic, deliverable timetable that they can believe in.
