The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has no confidence that Government will deliver the new hospitals it promised, a highly critical report has said. The PAC is extremely concerned at the New Hospital Programme’s (NHP) lack of progress, given the prominence and importance of the 2020 commitment to build 40 new hospitals by 2030. Very little has happened from the perspective of patients since the Government’s original commitment. The report warns that it is highly unlikely even to construct the 32 new hospitals that it is now aiming to complete by 2030, after the commitment to build all 40 by then was abandoned in May.
