More information

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) regarding 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.
