GP surgeries: Repairs and Maintenance

The Government is committed to delivering a National Health Service that is fit for the future and that recognises the importance of strategic, value for money investments in capital projects, such as new facilities, significant upgrades, or other targeted capital investments, to ensure we have world class infrastructure across the entire National Health Service estate.

The £102 million Primary Care Utilisation and Modernisation Fund will deliver upgrades this financial year to more than a thousand general practice surgeries across England. The schemes will create additional clinical space within existing building footprints to enable practices to see more patients, boost productivity, and improve patient care.

The NHS has set a clear target of 2040 for achieving Net Zero across the estate, and all capital investment is expected to work toward this ambition where possible. This is supported by a raft of documents and standards, including the Estates Net Zero Carbon Delivery Plan, and the NHS Net Zero Building Standard, which applies to all investments in new buildings and upgrades to existing facilities that are subject to HM Treasury business case approval processes.
