Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the value is of his Department's £95 million investment in energy efficiency and resilience measures across the NHS estate made through the National Energy Efficiency Fund in financial year 2025-26.

The NHS National Energy Efficiency Fund (NEEF) seeks to drive down trusts’ energy bills through targeted measures like LED lighting, Building Management Systems, and rooftop solar panels. These investments pay for themselves within a few years through reduced energy bills, whilst supporting the reduction of trusts’ carbon emissions. NEEF investment can also support efforts to increase building energy efficiency before low carbon, electrically powered heating technologies, like heat pumps, are installed. Since 2023/24, the Department has invested approximately £135 million in NEEF projects, with the latest £95 million investment round running from January to April 2025 and benefitted 114 trusts. Any further funding for energy measures will be confirmed through the Spending Review.
