<p>As of 17 October 2023, there are 42 hospital sites with confirmed reinforced autoclaved
aerated concrete (RAAC). Of these, seven are in the New Hospital Programme and will
be fully replaced by 2030. All hospital sites with confirmed RAAC are in NHS England’s
ongoing national RAAC programme. This is backed by significant additional funding
of £698 million from 2021 to 2025 for trusts to put in place necessary remediation
and failsafe measures. National funding is allocated annually based on National Health
Service trust plans and delivery progress.</p><p>The Department has published a full
list of hospitals with confirmed RAAC, which is available at the following link:</p><p><a

structural surveys identify RAAC in their estate, trusts are inducted into the national
remediation programme. Each site will be different, and just because RAAC is present,
it does not necessarily mean there is a high risk.</p>
