Guide published to help NHS leaders ‘access the right estates funding options’
With research suggesting that 84% of NHS leaders struggled to access funding due to lack of understanding or challenges with the application process, and that 54% had ‘a lack of confidence’ in combining multiple sources of capital, NHS Property Services has recently launched a new NHS Guide to Estate Funding.
Unveiling it, NHSPS pointed out
that Lord Darzi’s recent confirmation of a £37 bn shortfall in NHS capital investment, and the subsequent Budget announcement of a £1.57 bn
capital investment allocation over the next financial year, indicate that estate funding is ‘firmly on the agenda for NHS leaders’. NHS Property Services said: “The NHSPS Guide provides a succinct, easy-to-navigate overview of estates funding routes and the associated application processes, plus an outline of the expected timings and key skills needed to successfully secure funding. It also includes practical insights showing NHS leaders how to get the most from each funding source, and a quick reference checklist to help Estates, Finance, and Strategy leads
decide which funding option is appropriate for them.” Karina Dare, Primary
Care Estates Strategy Lead for NHSPS (pictured), explained: “NHS leaders have consistently told us that capital funding is the biggest challenge they face. From releasing additional capital to deepening their understanding of the numerous funding processes, our new Guide is designed to explain how to
make the most of the capital and revenue resources available to them.” The NHS Guide to Estate Funding is available online at https://www.
property.nhs.uk/ nhs-estate-funding, and a full copy of the online survey report, NHS Estate Funding
Survey Report: Challenges barriers and next steps 2024, is viewable at
