Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to complete an survey of the NHS estate for the presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC).

The National Health Service has been surveying sites and undertaking reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) mitigation work since 2019 and has had an active national remediation programme since 2021 to mitigate and monitor the risks posed by RAAC across the NHS estate. NHS England has issued guidance for trusts nationally on how to establish the presence of RAAC in their estate, and there is ongoing engagement with trusts on a national and regional level to ensure RAAC is identified across the NHS estate.
