§ Lord Morris of Castle Morrisasked Her Majesty's Government:
What are the findings of the Quinquennial Review of the NHS Estates and Health Building Agency. [HL4835]
§ Lord Hunt of Kings HeathWe are publishing today the report of the NHS Estates Quinquennial Review and copies have been placed in the Library. The review concludes that the agency has performed well in advising Ministers and the National Health Service Executive on policy and strategy for the NHS Estate and on the performance of NHS trusts in managing their estate. It finds that executive agency status has been beneficial and recommends that NHS Estates should remain as an agency.
