Question: Is a formal deadline for a Sustainable Development Management Plan (SDMP) in place?

Answer:

Many NHS Organisations already have a Sustainable Development Management Plan (SDMP).  The NHS Carbon Reduction Strategy asked NHS organisations to have an SDMP in place by April 2010.  This is being monitored on a 6 monthly basis by each SHA and we have produced a map showing how many organisations per region are taking part. 

If you are writing an SDMP or are updating a previous version you will find our guidance useful.
