A group of MPs has claimed that it is 'highly unlikely' the government will deliver on its pledge to build 40 new hospitals, while warning about the deteriorating state of the NHS. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) expressed extreme concerns about the lack of progress in the government's New Hospitals Programme (NHP). The target number of new hospitals was reduced to 32, but even achieving that seems highly unlikely. The government's levelling up programme also faces challenges, including spiralling costs and delayed decision-making.
It is 'highly unlikely' the government will deliver on its pledge to build 40 new hospitals , a group of MPs has claimed - while warning the NHS is 'crumbling before our eyes'. In a damning report, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has said they have 'extreme concerns' about the 'lack of progress' the government's New Hospitals Programme (NHP) has made so far. The target number of new hospitals was reduced to 32 in July but even getting that far is 'highly unlikely', the committee added.
Meanwhile, a report from the National Audit Office (NAO) into the government's levelling up programme has found spiralling costs, skills shortages and delayed decision-making - leading to authorities struggling to deliver projects on time. The levelling up and hospitals promises were cornerstones of the 2019 manifesto upon which the current government was elected. Dame Meg Hillier, the chair of the PAC, said: 'The physical edifice that is the NHS is quite literally crumbling before our eyes. There was nothing inevitable about this heartbreaking crisis

Two Greater Manchester MPs resign as shadow ministers over Israel-Hamas ceasefire voteTwo Greater Manchester MPs resigned from the Labour frontbench in a dramatic night in the House of Commons. Parliament voted on two amendments surrounding the ongoing Middle East conflict. Both amendments - including one tabled by the SNP calling for a ceasefire - were rejected. Labour ordered its MPs to abstain on the SNP's motion, meaning frontbenchers had to resign or face the sack to support it. Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer has argued that a ceasefire would not be appropriate, because it would freeze the conflict and embolden Hamas. Nearly 70 Labour MPs had defied their leader to call for a ceasefire now by the time of the vote on Wednesday evening, but just 56 voted this way in the Commons.

Labour MPs rebel over refusal to back Gaza ceasefireSir Keir Starmer's leadership has been tested after more than 50 of his MPs and eight shadow ministers rebelled over Labour's refusal to back a ceasefire in Gaza.

They were joined by eight members of the frontbench who, in breaking collective responsibility, were forced to resign from their posts. But why has the issue of a ceasefire caused so much division? And why does the Labour leader not support one? Sky News explains.
