The government has published a new timetable to deliver the New Hospital Programme, with some projects now pushed back beyond 2037 (see full list below).Health secretary Wes Streeting yesterday described the new timetable as honest, realistic [and] deliverable in contrast to Boris Johnsons original pledge to build 40 hospitals by 2030 which Streeting said was built on the shaky foundation of false hope.Under the plan, which will see 46 hospitals built or refurbished, projects will be delivered and funded in five-year waves, with 15bn allocated for each wave. Five schemes now may not start construction until 2039, nine years after the original deadline set out by Johnson in 2020.Source: Flickr/Number 10Health secretary Wes Streeting said the new hospitals would be built in five year waves meaning several will not complete until some time in the 2040sA total of 21 schemes have already been approved. Of these, 14 are either open to patients, in construction or have had their main build full business case approved, while a further seven will replace RAAC hospitals, which are deemed more urgent due to safety risks.Of the 25 remaining, seven schemes are due to start construction in the upcoming wave of construction (2025 to 2030).> Also read:New hospitals programme and HS2 are unachievable, says IPAA total of nine wave two schemes will start between 2030 and 2035 and a further nine wave three schemes between 2035 and 2039, with five of these not expected to start until 2037 at the earliest.Streeting said: The New Hospital Programme we inherited was unfunded and undeliverable. Not a single new hospital was built in the past five years, and there was no credible funding plan to build forty in the next five years.He added: Working closely with colleagues in HM Treasury,we have secured five-year waves of investment, ensuring that there is always a balanced portfolio of hospital schemes at different development stages being delivered now and into the future.Source: Flickr/Number 10Prime minister Keir Starmer visiting Coventry hospital last October. The new government has said previous plans to build or refurbish 40 hospitals by the end of this decade were unrealisticThis is the most efficient and cost-effective way of giving our NHS the buildings it needs, giving the construction sector the certainty it needs to deliver.The hospitals are being delivered using a standardised design, known as Hospital 2.0. The government said: A hospital built through Hospital 2.0 principles will use sustainable and modern methods of construction designed for manufacturing assembly to accelerate the building process.Revised NHP TimetableTable 1: wave 0 schemes (already under construction)SchemeCost estimateAlumhurst Road Childrens Mental Health Unit, Dorset500m or lessRoyal Bournemouth Hospital, Dorset500m or lessSt Anns Hospital, Dorset500m or lessDorset County Hospital, Dorchester500m or lessCEDAR ProgrammeCost estimate not givenOriel Eye HospitalCost estimate not givenNational Rehabilitation CentreCost estimate not givenTable 2: wave 1 schemes (to start construction between 2025 and 2030)SchemeExpected construction start date (post-NHP review)Cost estimatePoole Hospital, Dorset2025 to 2026500m or lessDerriford Emergency Care Hospital, Plymouth2025 to 2026500m or lessCambridge Cancer Research Hospital2025 to 2026500m or lessShotley Bridge Community Hospital, Durham2026 to 2027500m or lessMilton Keynes Hospital2027 to 2028500m or lessWomen and Childrens Hospital, Cornwall2027 to 2028500m or lessHillingdon Hospital, north-west London2027 to 20281bn to 1.5bnNorth Manchester General Hospital2027 to 20281bn to 1.5bnWest Suffolk Hospital, Bury St Edmunds (RAAC)2027 to 20281bn to 1.5bnHinchingbrooke Hospital (RAAC)2027 to 2028501m to 1bnJames Paget Hospital, Great Yarmouth (RAAC)2027 to 20281bn to 1.5bnQueen Elizabeth Hospital, Kings Lynn (RAAC)2027 to 20281bn to 1.5bnLeighton Hospital (RAAC)2027 to 20281bn to 1.5bnAiredale General Hospital (RAAC)2027 to 20281bn to 1.5bnFrimley Park Hospital (RAAC)2028 to 20291.5bn to 2bnBrighton 3Ts Hospital2026 to 2027Cost estimate not givenTable 3: wave 2 schemes (to start construction between 2030 and 2035)SchemeExpected construction start date (post-NHP review)Cost estimateLeeds General Infirmary2032 to 20341.5bn to 2bnSpecialist Emergency Care Hospital, Sutton2032 to 20341.5bn to 2bnWhipps Cross University Hospital, north-east London2032 to 20341bn to 1.5bnPrincess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow2032 to 20341.5bn to 2bnWatford General Hospital2032 to 20341.5bn to 2bnLeicester General Hospital Royal Infirmary2032 to 20341bn to 1.5bnKettering General Hospital2032 to 20341bn to 1.5bnMusgrove Park Hospital, Taunton2032 to 2034501m to 1bnTorbay Hospital2032 to 2034501m to 1bnTable 4: wave 3 schemes (to start construction between 2035 and 2039)SchemeExpected construction start date (post-NHP review)Cost estimateCharing Cross Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital, London2035 to 20381.5bn to 2bnNorth Devon District Hospital, Barnstaple2035 to 20381bn to 1.5bnRoyal Lancaster Infirmary2035 to 20381bn to 1.5bnSt Marys Hospital, north-west London2035 to 20382bn or moreRoyal Preston Hospital2037 to 20392bn or moreQueens Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital2037 to 20392bn or moreRoyal Berkshire Hospital, Reading2037 to 20392bn or moreHampshire Hospitals2037 to 20392bn or moreEastbourne District General, Conquest Hospital and Bexhill Community Hospital2037 to 20391.5bn to 2bn
