Whipps Cross Hospital was due to be finished in 2026, but could be delayed until at least 2028.
A hospital boss has said he is "going in a bit of a circle" with the government over funding for a new hospital in north-east London.It was due to be finished in 2026, but could be delayed until at least 2028.
Demolition of old hospital buildings including the old nurses accommodation ended in June last year. Without additional funding, no further work to prepare the site can take place.Health secretary Steve Barclay previously announced he had approved "up to £28 million" for the first stage but last week it emerged money for the second stage, the hospital, had not been approved.
"Then we were told by the national hospital team that they needed to review the business case before they were able to confirm funding," he said."The assumption is that the overall construction of the car park needs to be completed before the hospital can begin so it's not a positive picture."on Wednesday, Mr Finney said the next steps remained unclear and that construction could only start in 2025 at the earliest, completing in 2028/29.
It added it was working with Whipps Cross "to deliver state-of-the-art new facilities for patients and staff and ensure value for money".
