Sajid Javid slammed for claiming he was off to open one of new 48 hospitals

"Like adding a garden shed to your property, and bragging that you've bought a second home," said one Twitter user.

Health secretary Sajid Javid was in Carlisle yesterday to officially open the new £35 million cancer care facility at the Cumberland Infirmary.

The £35 million centre, at Carlisle’s Cumberland Infirmary, is set to benefit patients across north Cumbria and is a partnership between the Northern Centre for Cancer Care, North Cumbria – a partnership between Newcastle Hospitals and North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC).

Mr Javid said: “It’s been a pleasure to come here today to be invited to open the new hospital.”

“I think everyone understands why the waiting lists have risen during the pandemic with the NHS rightly focussing on Covid and people seriously affected by that.

“Having this new cancer centre open today is a very good example of how we can bring that waiting list down.”

Of course we welcome any new medical facility to ensure people are given the best treatment possible,but his claims that it was a new hospital were questioned on social media.

Sajid Javid opened a new building in an established hospital, yet claims to have opened a new hospital. Like adding a garden shed to your property, and bragging that you've bought a second home. https://t.co/o8BJw8gx9A

Mr Javid, if I get a new shed for my garden, will Mr Sunak charge me stamp duty for purchasing a new house? https://t.co/Glvmo5OJ9L

Dear Mr Javid, it would be enormously helpful if you could name this hospital and the other 47, and also clarify what you mean by ‘new’. Are these new buildings on new sites, or modifications and upgrades of existing services? https://t.co/oDu93umuGr

Not a new hospital. It’s a new cancer unit of an existing hospital, Carlisle Infirmary, Cumbria. Get in the sea, Billy Bullshitter. @sajidjavid #lies https://t.co/wCyX8CoEyZ

Here's the Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, lying AGAIN!

It is NOT a new hospital, it's a new unit. That's something very different. https://t.co/nHXA561UVx

It’s a cancer unit, not a hospital.
Guys pls could you RT?

I don’t understand why these clowns do this. He hasn’t opened a “new hospital”. He’s opened a cancer care facility in an existing hospital.

Pointless lie. https://t.co/s3SetnJULR

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
