NHS wastes millions on taxes for empty buildings

The NHS has spent £4 million on property taxes for empty buildings in the last three financial years, a TaxPayers' Alliance investigation has revealed. There are 77 vacant properties in the NHS estate which are valued at £40 million by NHS Property Services.

 

Speaking to MailOnline, which published the findings, our digital campaign manager Joe Ventre said:

"Taxpayers will be shocked at the number of empty buildings on the health service's books.

"These properties are sitting vacant and costing the NHS a pretty penny in business rates all at a time when waiting lists are filling up.

"Health bosses need to quickly sell these sites if they aren't going to be brought back into use."
