NHS Surplus Land, Quarter 3 2021/22
Official statistics, Experimental statistics
Summary
The NHS Surplus Land collection has existed since 2008 and was originally designed to provide information to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), Homes England and the Office of Government Property (OGP) on sites that can be disposed of, thereby contributing to the Public Land for Housing Programme. The collection currently monitors the contribution made by the NHS to the release of publicly owned land to ensure the efficient and strategic use of the NHS estate. From 2020/21 onwards, reporting is done by data providers on an “as needed” basis on a live collection system, providing more up to date and transparent information to the public and reducing the burden to data providers.
This is the sixth time these statistics have been produced from a live system which combines the previous NHS Digital collection with internal stakeholder collections in the same area. Please see the “Data Quality” worksheet in the “Data Definitions” workbook for an assessment of data quality for this release.
