Abstract

The impact of the health reforms together with other developments will mean that the 24 billion pounds NHS estate will undergo the most fundamental change since the days of Florence Nightingale. Against this background it is more important than ever that the utilisation of the estate is improved and that the NHS learns how to make the best use of private sector investment, says John Locke, Chief Executive of NHS Estates.
