Seven of the 40 hospitals still do not have a completion date, with another 25 not expected to be finished until at least 2024
Another, the Royal Cornwall Hospital Children's hospital, was originally expected to complete between 2024 and 2026. That has now shifted to between 2026 and 2028.
"We don't have an actual start date yet because we are waiting for the green light from government for the business case on the overall development," he said. The Conservative MP for Harlow, Robert Halfon, said:"The prime minister came to Harlow in October 2019 to announce the new hospital. It has been confirmed on the floor of the House of Commons by ministers and the PM on numerous occasions over the past year.
The 2019 Conservative manifesto talked of having"begun work on building 40 new hospitals across the country". In October 2019, at the Conservative Party conference, Mr Johnson promised to build"40 new hospitals". But almost three years on - very few have begun that process. "Material costs have on average risen by around 25% over the past 12 months and are projected to continue increasing, and labour costs are also seen as likely to rise reflecting near record vacancy rates across the industry."
