Dr Luke Evans, Conservative MP for Hinckley, called the proposed cancellation of the scheme a “huge concern” and has cited the leaders at Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council and the NHS as “significant reasons for delays”.
He said he would “continue to hold both to account and look for further solutions” if the project was shelved.
The Lib Dem leader of the council, Stuart Bray, said Hinckley was being “neglected” by the national government and hit out at Dr Evans, saying he was “gaslighting” his constituents.
A spokesperson for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB confirmed the board would discuss the issue next week.
They said: “[The report] proposes to cancel the scheme on the grounds that, eight years since it was originally approved the circumstances and wider context have changed to the extent that the scheme is no longer a viable, efficient or sustainable use of resources.
“Hinckley has seen significant investment in local healthcare services over recent years, particularly with the opening of the new £24.6m community diagnostic centre.”
