Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much of the £1.5 billion Estates Safety Fund funding announced on 9 September will be allocated towards implementing the conclusion in the Module 3 report from the UK Covid-19 Inquiry that "in the short term, the use of HEPA filters should be prioritised within healthcare across the UK".

Estates Safety Fund schemes were selected by the National Health Service working with trusts and integrated care boards to prioritise the most urgent operational and safety risks, including ventilation requirements, and the schemes that will make the greatest difference to patients and staff.

No data is held on the proportion of the funding that will be directed towards the use of high-efficiency particulate air filters.
