The NHS And Climate Change

BBC News:

Of the public buildings such as schools and hospitals built or refurbished over 2005-06, only 9% met government targets for environmental sustainability.

Sunand Prasad, President, Royal Institute of British Architects: "Sustainability has not been a priority in any recent hospital build."

Neil MacKay, the climate change tsar for the NHS in England: "Sometimes I get blank looks when I say to people: 'Why aren't you interested in the consequences of climate change and the use of energy?' People will say: 'Well, we do', but when you unpack it and explore it they are doing things - but they are not really getting to the heart of things in an innovative, lateral-thinking kind of way."
