Building a Healthy Workforce: How NHS Estates can Support Productivity & Economic Growth

The BPF’s Building Healthy Futures report examines how delivering the Government’s ambitions for economic growth and a stronger labour market depends on a more effective NHS, supported by a modern, productive healthcare estate.

It highlights the stark capital need to address maintenance backlogs and expand capacity, funding that is unlikely to be met through public investment alone.

The report explores how institutional capital can help close this gap, overcome current deployment barriers, and support improved health outcomes while easing pressure on public finances and contributing to wider economic growth.
