The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to increase energy efficiency in (a) hospitals, (b) schools and (c) other public sector buildings.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government continues to improve the energy efficiency of hospitals, schools and other public buildings primarily though the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, which provides public sector organisations a funding stream to help them install low carbon heating and efficiency measures.

The current application round for funding is open for applications until 25 November 2024. In addition over £80m has been made available through the Low Carbon Skills Fund for owners of public sector buildings to develop their decarbonisation plans.
