Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what scientific tests have been used to assess the suitability of Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) technologies installed in the temporary hospitals erected in the UK during the covid-19 outbreak.

The COVID-19 Nightingale temporary hospitals are the responsibility of the designated sponsoring National Health Service trust. Each such trust appointed a designated and appropriately qualified individual to oversee the design process and installation of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration-related infrastructure where required. All installations within each Nightingale facility were subject to a specific testing and commissioning process prior to operational use.
