What happened

Well supportedReported by 18 independent outlets

Alex Brewer tabled an amendment to the Health Bill seeking to make a 2030 construction deadline for a new Basingstoke hospital a legal requirement in Parliament. The government's current plan suggests construction will not start until between 2037 and 2039, and the hospital is unlikely to open before 2046, despite land already being secured. Brewer stated that the government must commit to rebuilding the hospital sooner.
