Guidance related to the National Health Service Estate is reviewed, prioritised and updated to reflect changing legislative, regulatory, technological and policy requirements. As part of the three-year delivery plan and subsequent for maternity and neonatal service survey, NHS England plans to start the update of this Health Building Note in 2025/26. Usually, guidance notes take between 18 and 24 months to update and so NHS England plans to publish this in 2027/28.
