Now, Labour are backtracking on that promise - claiming plans are “under review”.

With building costs increasing and NHS hospitals in London going bankrupt it is doubted that Labour can afford to keep their promises.

Knotty Ash Lib Dem Councillor, Josie Mullen says, “While Labour have invested in new hospitals for places like Manchester, Liverpool has been left behind.”

“If Labour let us down again, local people will never forgive them.”

“Liverpool has 5 Labour MPs - It’s about time they start fighting for our City!”

Quote from Daily Post: "Fears mount over £1bn Mersey health plans!
The £1bn plans for rebuilding the Royal Liverpool Hospital and Alder Hey children's hospital as well as creating a major new health centre at Aintree Hospital, are to face strict Whitehall "reviews"
