BORIS JOHNSON was urged to clarify his plan for the “biggest hospital-building programme in a generation” today after it emerged that it would not deliver dozens of promised new hospitals.

The Prime Minister said that 40 hospitals would be built across England over the next decade, however the details reveal that the plans would be dependent on his party winning the next two elections.

His promises included spending £13 billion on what officials described as “new” hospitals, by either creating entirely new buildings or gutting existing ones to create more modern facilities.
