As part of the management of their estate, National Health Service trusts regularly assess the physical condition of their estate. Facilities rated as category A are considered new and able to perform adequately throughout their full lifespan.

The Estates Related Information Collection (ERIC) survey collects data from trusts on the quality of their estate annually. However, it does not collect the number or proportion of the NHS estate that is ranked as category A. The ERIC does collect data on backlog maintenance, the projected cost of bringing all the buildings on each NHS site into acceptable condition. The latest data is available at the following link:
