The Surplus Land collection has existed since 2008 to provide information to the Department of Health, the Homes and Communities Agency and the Government Property Unit on sites that can be disposed of, thereby contributing to the Government Public Sector Land Disposal Programme. This is the second year the results have been published by NHS Digital. Information includes the total area of surplus land within the NHS, declared market value and value of land sold during the 2016/17 financial year.
