Why?
Hospitals have less money, with an overall tariff reduction between 2010/2011 of 1.5%. Tariff reductions could be around for much of the next decade, so there remains little choice.
Unlocking the potential from the NHS estate offers the opportunity to improve clinical services and generate better outcomes for all, with less.
UNDERUSED OR WASTED SPACE IN THE NHSThe latest figures released for 2010/11 show that since our last annual review the ‘wasted’ space in the NHS has been reduced by circa 210,000 m², leaving 1.898 million m² (of which 1.23 million is in the acute) underused or unused.
This is a step forward and should be celebrated, however, major financial and efficiency opportunities remain - getting the NHS estate in shape for the future. To put the opportunity into context, the footprint of the ‘wasted’ space in the NHS is still approximately equivalent to Sainsbury’s entire UK store base or 264 premier league football pitches placed end-to-end.

This sheet summarises EC Harris’ third annual service and estate efficiency review, which considers how to unlock the potential within the NHS estate and avoid inherent paradoxes in an era of
localism to improve health outcomes.
