HSJ Podcast: The missing £1bn in capital funding

2023-05-19T04:01:00+01:00

No comments

The government’s 40 “new hospitals” has dominated headlines – and decisions – over NHS capital funding in recent years, but this week HSJ revealed dozens of trusts are still waiting for money promised by the previous big capital programme.

We discuss why over £1bn is yet to be received for capital schemes announced in 2017 and 2018 and what impact this has had on services.

Also this week, an update on the latest chapter in The Christie Foundation Trust’s whistleblowing saga, after the publication of a CQC report that downgraded the trust’s treasured ‘outstanding’ rating.

With Annabelle Collins, Lawrence Dunhill and Zoe Tidman.
