Hospitals: Fire Prevention
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of a public inquiry into hospital fire safety for the (a) 18 PFI projects with fire safety issues and (b) 38 hospitals identified by NHS Improvement as having cladding similar to Grenfell Tower.
- Answer
-
Following the Grenfell tragedy, a review of all National Health Service buildings was undertaken to identify those with Aluminium Cladded Material (ACM). This identified nine buildings with ACM where mitigation actions were immediately put in place. A public inquiry is not seen as required in relation to NHS fire safety at this time.
