Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish the document entitled, Revision of Health Technical Memorandum HTM 03-01: Specialised Ventilation for Healthcare Premises; and whether that document is in compliance with the standards (a) BS EN 16798-3: 2017 and (b) Eurovent 4-23 (October 2018 guidelines).
In line with the guidance in BS EN 16798-3: 2017 High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are specified as required by the design for the indoor environmental air quality.
Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 03-01: Specialised Ventilation for Healthcare Premises is currently being updated and is going through final draft review and approval processes as is normal for all technical guidance. The revision will take account as appropriate of the BS EN 16798-3: 2017 and Eurovent 4-23 (October 2018 guidelines).
