Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the value of equipment procured for NHS Nightingale Hospitals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which has now been transferred to other NHS facilities.

The information requested is not held centrally by the department. NHS England advises that each host trust is responsible for managing a list of assets and equipment including beds and medical equipment from the Nightingale hospitals, some of which will have been absorbed by host trusts. The remaining surplus stock has been collected and made available for national redistribution under the existing warehousing, asset tracking and logistics contracts.
