Wirral NHS Trust takes care of energy use

An NHS Community Trust based in the Wirral has appointed an energy consultancy to look after its energy use across 20 properties.

The Trust which provides healthcare services across the Wirral region in Merseyside wants to improve its energy efficiency to save money and become more sustainable.

British energy management firm Inteb now provides information for the NHS Trust’s energy reporting requirements, which it says takes the burden of energy monitoring off the shoulders of the Trust’s facilities management team.

Tom Kelly at Inteb said: “The work we are undertaking with the NHS is in line with the Trust's own Carbon Reduction Strategy and the overall NHS 'Saving Carbon, Improving Health' target of reducing carbon emissions by 34% based on a 1990 baseline”.
