<p>Sir Robert Naylor published his independent review on National Health Service property
and estates in March 2017. It made a series of recommendations designed to support
transformation of the NHS estate. The Review did not identify surplus land, nor recommend
the sale of specific sites. It is for NHS land owners to determine which are surplus
to requirements and to make them available for disposal. NHS land owners contribute
to sustainability and transformation partnerships (STP) estates strategies which consider
the nature of the estate that is required across an STP to deliver clinical strategy
and meet patient needs.</p><p>The NHS Surplus Land Annual Data Collection collects
data on land owned by NHS trusts and foundation trusts which has been declared surplus
and planned for future disposal. Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation
Trust reported only one planned disposal in the 2017-18 collection. This data is available
at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-surplus-land/2017-18-england"

planned disposal related to vacant land on the Clatterbridge Hospital site. The land
was disposed via statutory transfer to Homes England in March 2018. The sales proceeds,
as reported in the Trust’s Annual Report and Accounts, were £4.4 million. In the 2017-18
data collection it was estimated that the site could deliver 95 homes. This figure
will be confirmed through the planning process.</p>
