<p>The policy around outdoor air quality measurement is led by the Department for
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. This data is publicly available and used by National
Health Service trusts, and NHS England. NHS England has set out a range of measures
to reduce trusts’ impact on outdoor air quality, as part of its commitment to achieve
Net Zero for direct NHS emissions by 2040. Specific actions are set out in its Net
Zero Travel and Transport Strategy, Net Zero Estates Delivery Plan, and Clinical Waste
Strategy, which are available respectively at the following links:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/net-zero-travel-and-transport-strategy/"
