The information requested is not held centrally.

The Government recognises the importance of a safe and resilient National Health Service estate, which is why we are investing £6.75 billion over the next nine years through the Estates Safety Fund to tackle the poorest-quality NHS estate and ensure safe environments for healthcare delivery, including for cancer patients.
