There are no plans to apply the 2022 update to the Building Regulations on Ventilation for New Buildings to existing Healthcare Buildings.

Guidance on ventilation and air filtration systems in National Health Service facilities is provided in Health Technical Memorandum 03-01: Specialised ventilation for healthcare premises. As with all guidance provided on the NHS estate, it is reviewed on an ongoing basis and will be updated to reflect changes in approach to relevant areas.
