An NHS leader has said the delay to the New Hospital Programme (NHP) is costing his trust millions of pounds.
The Liberal Democrats have written to the health secretary to call on the Government to use any changes to the fiscal rules in the Autumn Budget to be used to complete the New Hospital Programme.
A number of schemes under the New Hospital Programme (NHP) have granted permission to proceed by the Government.
The Liberal Democrats have pledged to spend £1bn a year on refitting and restoring crumbling NHS hospitals if elected on 4 July.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said the Government will meet its 2019 pledge of building 40 new hospitals by 2030.
Millions of pounds are spent each month by the NHS on patching up crumbling estates as a result of delays to the Government's new hospital scheme, trust leaders have warned.
