Well, I'm delighted to confirm not only the work being done on the nearby gardens—there's a voluntary group doing that work—but that it will be a much more efficient building than most of the NHS estate. Of course, much of the NHS estate was created several years ago, in the past. It's a building being built to the highest architectural standards, and there will be a significant saving in both energy efficiency as well as the modern heat and power plant on site as well.

When it comes to tree planting, funnily enough, it was a question that I asked on one of my visits, and there will be significant tree planting in and around the Grange university hospital. That's part of the view that people want to have as well as some of the well-noted challenges. I saw comrade Melding on the roof next to beehives in this place, and you can expect to see the deliberate planting of blossom and other trees and plants within the grounds to deal with exactly the point he mentioned.
