The Infrastructure and Projects Authority's recent report classifies the new hospital programme as red, indicating the highest risk level, with significant issues jeopardizing its delivery.
The project has seen cost estimates escalate from £20 billion to £30 billion, raising concerns about its overall viability and potential need for re-scoping.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting is expected to address paused projects and present a revised timetable, amidst increasing scrutiny over Boris Johnson's 2019 pledge for new hospitals.
Reports of delays and budget overruns have led to frustration, particularly as some proposed new hospitals may only involve refurbishments rather than entirely new constructions.
