Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will issue guidance to all NHS organisations that they should implement a replacement programme to introduce LED lighting in all NHS premises.
The Department is planning to issue a new version of Health Technical Memorandum 07-02:EnCO2de – making energy work in healthcare by March 2015. This will include best practice guidance on the appropriate use of LED lighting drawn from the findings of National Health Service projects that have completed this year, using the Department’s £50 million NHS Energy Efficiency Fund.
