LABOUR is demanding action over the “dire” state of the NHS estate after finding that the number of potholes has tripled since the Tories moved into No 10.

There were 230 potholes reported in 60 NHS trusts last year, up from 80 in 2010, and the largest was 7.5 metres wide.

It’s cost the NHS over £2.6 million to repair potholes since 2010, Labour research published today found.
