Conservatives blast Labour over delay to Royal Berkshire Hospital project
- The rebuild of the Royal Berkshire Hospital will not start until 2037 at the earliest, as confirmed by Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
- The hospital was initially expected to begin construction in 2031, with costs now estimated at about £1.6 billion, likely to rise in the future.
- Chief Executive Steve McManus expressed that the delay is extremely disappointing for patients and staff, pushing the timeline into the 2040s.
- Hampshire Hospitals, including those in Basingstoke and Winchester, will also face delays, with construction not expected until between 2037 and 2039.
