Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what representations his Department has received on proposals for the strategy and objectives of the organisation planned to be formed from NHS Property Services and Community Health Partnerships.

The new National Health Service property organisation is being developed by the Department in response to early recommendations made by Sir Robert Naylor in the course of his review of the NHS estate.

In developing his recommendations Sir Robert has engaged widely with a range of experts and leaders from across the health and property sectors.

The Department is committed to ensuring that the new organisation fully supports and reflects the needs and priorities of the NHS, and we will ensure there is an ongoing dialogue with stakeholders in its design as this is progressed.
