answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2019 answer text <p>NHS Property Services currently manages around 10% of the National Health Service estate and while it has undertaken work to confirm construction types of buildings within its portfolio it was never the intention to produce a consolidated report for publication. The construction information collected was for NHS Property Services to better understand its buildings and manage any risks identified.</p><p> </p><p>Following the Grenfell tragedy in June 2017, NHS Improvement, acting on guidelines from the Cabinet Office and the Department for Communities and Local Government, instructed NHS Property Services to review its estate to identify buildings which may be at greater risk of fire due to the use of Aluminium Composite Materials specifically as cladding. NHS Property Services conducted a review of all premises in its portfolio using the guidelines and can confirm that no owned NHS Property Services buildings have aluminium cladding materials installed.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 22/01/2019 17:04:56 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government is providing funding so that local authorities and housing associations can focus their efforts on making their buildings safe without impacting negatively on other services, improvements to housing quality or new supply.</p><p>We have committed to funding fully the removal and replacement of dangerous Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding on residential social housing buildings over 18 metres owned by councils and housing associations, with costs estimated at £400 million. We have so far allocated £248 million to replace cladding on 135 buildings.</p><p>Where, as part of the enforcement action, local authorities take emergency action themselves to remediate high rise private sector residential building with unsafe ACM cladding then the Housing Act 2004 allows local authorities to recover reasonably incurred expenses, with interest.</p><p>The Government is committed to supporting local authorities to ensure that such private-sector buildings are remediated, including financial support to take emergency remedial action if that is necessary. Local authorities finding themselves in this position should approach my Department to discuss what support may be needed.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 17/01/2019 16:21:39 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
