NHS: Buildings

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many smart meters he expects to be installed in NHS buildings in each year between 2025 and 2030.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Data on National Health Service smart meter usage in the NHS is not collected or projected centrally by NHS England. The annual Estates Return Information Collection does collect data on electricity meters, but this does not currently differentiate smart meters. Further information on the annual Estates Return Information Collection is available at the following link:
