Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the Answer of 22 March 2017 to Question 67994, on NHS Property Services: Community Health Partnerships, if he will publish the business case for the proposed new NHS property organisation.

NHS Property and Estates: why the estate matters for patients (the Naylor Review) is an independent report prepared for the Department and 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.
