Kettering General Hospital says it is yet to receive £46m awarded in 2019 to help fix some of the issues.
Mr Weldon said the hospital was still waiting for the money and had "temporary boilers which provides power for the whole site".He also said the pipes for the hospital's heating were more than 50 years old and there was "no resilience in that system".Kettering General Hospital's "temporary power plant" regularly breaks, Simon Weldon said
Mr Weldon described the site as "a big hotchpotch of things, some things that are new, about 10 years old, to things that are 100 years old, and everything in between". He added: "Those are not conditions a modern hospital should be proud of, those are not conditions we should ask any staff to work in, they are not the conditions we should expect any of our nearest and dearest to receive care."Mr Weldon said he would submit a business case to get money "to fix the vital infrastructure work that will keep this site safe".
But he said the hospital really needed to be rebuilt, and that "fixing the hospital would be bad value for taxpayers".was "on track" and that included Kettering General Hospital. "We are working closely with the NHS and the trust on the development of their building plans," it said in a statement.
