When Johnson announced his "40 hospitals", he only provided enough funding for 6.
So Labour were bequeathed an unfunded promise of 34 hospitals. They're not cancelling anything, if the original "plans" included no money

Exciting news!! Anaesthetists United are through to the next stage of their legal case. They argue that Anaesthetic Associates are not doctors and should not be used as substitutes for doctors. This is a no-brainer. They need money to fight the next stage.

This must be bridged for good patient care
I used to call colleagues for advice but it’s now a challenge to even get patients accepted for a referral
Often rejected for the smallest thing & worsened by the long waits
Yet many more consultants & fewer GPs
