Responding to an announcement from the Energy Secretary Ed Miliband that more NHS sites will be given funding to instal solar panels, the chief executive of NHS Providers, Daniel Elkeles said:
"It’s great news that even more NHS sites will get funding to instal solar panels to help them cut their energy bills.
"Spiralling energy costs have landed hospitals with huge bills- more than £1.4billion since 2019.
"Supporting NHS trusts to generate their own solar power and to invest savings going back into local NHS services is good for patients, good for the environment and good for taxpayers."
