The Mayor of Bedford has criticised an on-going review into healthcare in Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes, which will make recommendations about Bedford and Milton Keynes hospitals.
The latest review, launched in 2014, has so far cost £4.5m, after an earlier review - Healthier Together - costing £2m was scrapped, but a spokesman said the spending is in line with their budget.
Mayor Dave Hodgson, who has described the delay as "scandalous", said: "They seem to know what they want, they want to downgrade Bedford or Milton Keynes hospital, but they can't get either the clinical outcomes to add up or the finances to add up."
