Capita Symonds to review £550m Leicestershire NHS estate

 

NHS community partners across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland have appointed Capita Symonds to carry out a strategic review of their £550m estate.


During a two stage exercise, Capita Symonds – on behalf of NHS Leicestershire County and Rutland, NHS Leicester City, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust and Leicester Partnership NHS Trust – will look at the options for the 496,000 sq m estate.


The portfolio comprises a mix of over 160 NHS owned buildings including acute hospitals, community hospitals, a wide range of community facilities, and NHS owned GP practices.


Helen Seth, LLR QIPP executive lead for capacity and assets, said: “NHS partners across LLR have agreed to work together to define what buildings are needed to meet the health needs of the local population both now and in the future.


“While doing this we also need to deliver better outcomes for our patients and transform the way in which we use our assets to support the services we deliver.”


Tony Rackstraw, director, Capita Symonds, said: “Greater productivity will be realised through a combination of cash released through reduction in asset base and efficiency gains through improved utilisation of residual estate and service reconfiguration which will release further efficiency savings.”
