Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to increase the awareness of the applicable sentencing guidelines in relation to the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 amongst NHS Estates Managers.


This question was answered on 25th February 2019

The Construction, Design and Management Regulations 2015 apply to all National Health Service construction and design work and as such are implemented across all capital investment, including the responsibilities of specific professionals employed. There are no current plans to increase awareness of these regulations. The relevant National Health Service staff are aware of the contents of the Regulations including the sentencing guidelines. No recent discussions have taken place with the Construction Industry Training Board by NHS Improvement and the Department.
