What's the NHS doing about climate?

The Scottish Government and NHS Assure have developed a draft Climate Emergency and Sustainability Strategy 2022 to 2026 for NHS Scotland. A consultation on the draft is open until the 10th March 2022.

The consultation paper is called ‘NHS Scotland climate emergency and sustainability strategy 2022 to 2026 and it covers a range of areas ranging from sustainable buildings and travel to ‘green prescribing’. There is a section on Sustainable Communities on p57 of the document.

CHEX is going to submit a response and would be happy to discuss this with anyone in our network who has views on the consultation or is thinking of submitting their own response.
