Kings Fund Report - Sustainable Health and Social Care: Connecting environmental and financial performance

Sun, 01/04/2012

As financial challenges for the health and social care sector increase, so too does the need for services to be delivered in ways that are environmentally sustainable. Sustainable Health and Social Care: Connecting environmental and financial performance is based on a literature review and stakeholder consultation carried out by The King’s Fund on behalf of the National Institute for Health Research and the Social Care Institute for Excellence. The report provides an overview of current knowledge about the environmental impacts of health and social care and examines the evidence for a connection between sustainability, productivity and other system objectives.
