Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 March 2026

Debate

NHS Capital Spending

Contribution

My hon. Friend is giving a powerful and important speech. Half the residents in my constituency are served by Basingstoke hospital, which was included in the now infamous promise of 40 new hospitals by 2030. Now it seems completion could be as late as 2046. The delay means another 20 years of spending taxpayers’ money on a building with leaking windows, exposed wiring, an uninsulated roof and countless other physical problems, with a bill that goes up and up every year to maintain that crumbling building. Does my hon. Friend agree that asking taxpayers to pay twice is a waste of public money, and Basingstoke hospital and others should have their rebuilds brought forward?
