To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what data sets are maintained by NHS Property Services.

George Freeman

NHS Property Services currently holds data sets under three categories – Asset Management, Facilities Management (FM) and Finance.

The Asset Management data set holds information under 27 categories, including the Company’s legal agreements with landlords and tenants, site plans and schedules of occupation. The FM data set holds information under 13 categories, including cost breakdowns by property and basic building and utilities data. The Finance data set holds information under four categories, including a financial register of major assets above £5,000.

The Company currently has an on-going project to create a central database of all information relating to the portfolio. This is considered key to providing the detailed level of consistent data necessary to manage its spaces optimally.
