This includes freeing surplus NHS land sufficient for 26,000 homes.</p><p>As part of this, we recognise that in some areas it may be beneficial for NHS organisations to use their surplus land to provide accommodation for their staff. We have been engaging with a wide range of stakeholders to understand better the housing need for NHS staff, and for the first time have started to collect data on where NHS organisations are already using their land in this way. The need for NHS staff accommodation differs across the country, and we are working with the NHS, housing associations, and other partners to explore opportunities for developing local solutions.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 11/09/2017 14:49:16 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

uin	7660
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2017 answer text <p>The average Energy Performance Certificate of homes in England in Wales has improved year on year thanks to government policies, including building regulations and the Energy Company Obligation (ECO). As of 2015, almost 79 per cent of homes in England had an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or better compared to 39 per cent in 2005. In April 2017 the government launched ECO: Help to Heat. We expect ECO: Help to Heat to upgrade the energy efficiency of well over 300,000 homes per year. We already have regulations in place that mean that from April 2018 all private domestic and non-domestic landlords will need to ensure that their properties reach at least an EPC E rating before granting a tenancy to new or existing tenants.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 08/09/2017 12:46:15 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
