Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Answer of 24 October 2019 to Question 2644 on Northwick Park Hospital: Repairs and Maintenance, what the backlog of maintenance was for each acute hospital in 2018-19 reported to the NHS Estates Returns Information Collection; and if he will make a statement.
The Department collects data on backlog maintenance annually from National Health Service trusts through its Estates Returns Information Collection (ERIC) which is available at the following link:
The accuracy of the data is the responsibility of the contributing NHS organisations. In the 2018-19 ERIC publication there is site specific data on levels of backlog maintenance for 223 ‘general acute hospitals’ and 33 ‘specialist hospitals (acute only)’. The levels of recorded backlog are attached.
