Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has plans to review the existing guidance on the use of air conditioning units in hospital wards in England.
Guidance is kept under review and updated as appropriate. The existing guidance ‘Specialised ventilation for healthcare buildings’ was updated in June 2021 and is available at the following link:
