a reduction of 50% when compared to the corresponding figure for 2014-15 (60 million).

Government recognises the importance of reducing usage of non-renewable energy sources
by public sector organisations, both in terms of meeting its commitment to achieve
net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and reducing levels of air pollution. The National
Health Service is taking several actions to support this, including the phasing out
of primary heating from coal and oil fuel in NHS sites. Investment requirements to
further transform the NHS estate will be considered as part of the multi-year capital
budget the Department will receive at the next capital review.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
