Summary

These documents outline the policy and performance requirements for flooring, walls, ceilings, sanitary assemblies and windows used in healthcare facilities

This building note is split into two parts.

Part A outlines how efficiencies in the running of land and property can be achieved.

Part B provides more detailed advice about the active management of land and buildings used for healthcare services. It includes advice on:

  • general management of property including commercial opportunities for the benefit of patients, visitors and staff, and town planning
  • the selling of surplus property and where required the buying of additional property

Many topics in Part B will help NHS organisations to achieve the efficiencies outlined in Part A.
