The government has confirmed construction of the new Whipps Cross Hospital will be delayed until 2032 at the earliest.

It follows a review of the New Hospitals Programme, which was announced by Boris Johnson in 2020. “When I walked into the Department of Health and Social Care, I was told that the funding for the New Hospitals Programme runs out in March 2025. We were determined to put the programme on a firm footing so we can build the new hospitals our NHS needs,” said Health Secretary Wes Streeting MP.
