(2 March 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many sites were recorded in the NHS Surplus Land data collection in each year since 2020; and how many of those sites have subsequently been disposed of.

Asked by:
Alison Griffiths (Conservative)

We routinely collect National Health Service surplus land data and currently publish it on a bi-annual basis. The following table shows the NHS surplus land statistics by year, sorted by recorded surplus or potentially surplus land plots, and disposed plots, from 2020/21 to 2024/25:

Year	Recorded surplus or potentially surplus land plots	Disposed plots
2020/21	610	82
2021/22	441	67
2022/23	368	54
2024/25	356	69

For further information on how we define our data, the specific sites and type of infrastructure, including community hospitals, that were sold during these years is available at local integrated care boards and at the following link:
