PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
NHS Property Services: Community Health Partnerships (27 November 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 22 October 2017 to Question 108742, on NHS Property Services: Community Health Partnerships, whether a full business case for the proposed new NHS property organisation will be prepared and considered before a decision is made on options for the establishment of a new NHS Property Board.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

NHS Property and Estates: why the estate matters for patients (the Naylor Review) is an independent report prepared for the Department, published on 31 March 2017. The report is available on the Department’s website at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nhs-property-and-estates-naylor-review.

The Government is giving careful consideration to the Review’s recommendations, including options for the establishment of a new NHS Property Board, and will respond in due course.

The Department does not collect information centrally on the functions undertaken by subsidiaries established by National Health Service trusts or foundation trusts. It is for individual NHS trusts and foundation trusts to determine how best to manage their estates and facilities locally.
