Maldon's long-awaited new community hospital has been delayed again after NHS bosses missed a key deadline.
Maldon District Council was due to receive a report from NHS Property Services setting out what services should be provided in the planned replacement to St Peter’s Hospital at the end of last month.
But Ka Ng, director of resources, told an overview and scrutiny panel meeting the report was outstanding.
The authority, which is looking to provide funds and allocate a site for the health hub, cannot identify suitable destinations with potential developers without the report.
