Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of damage caused by potholes on the NHS estate in which year for which information is available; and what recent assessment he has made of trends in that level of cost.
The data requested is not collected centrally.
National Health Service organisations are locally responsible for the condition of their roads and car parks, which will includes potholes and are expected to keep their estate in an appropriate condition.
