Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress has been made on aligning the staff, roles and responsibilities of NHS Property Services and Community Health Partnerships into a regional structure alongside NHS England and NHS Improvement.

NHS Property Services and Community Health Partnerships operate throughout England. The two companies work closely with building occupiers, tenants, NHS clinical commissioning groups, sustainability and transformation partnerships and National Health Service England and NHS Improvement regional and national teams with the objective of ensuring their healthcare estate and facilities is fully utilised and delivers value for money for the NHS.

NHS Property Services deliver services locally and works out of 16 hub site offices; in many cases, these are co-located with NHS England or NHS Improvement teams. Community Health Partnerships delivers services through a regional field-based property and asset management team.
