NHS Orkney’s greenspace project revealed

December 12, 2021 at 9:30 am

The site will contain three polytunnels and will be available to patients, NHS staff, and the wider community.

While The Balfour is the first hospital in Scotland to be awarded the title of “net zero”, NHS Orkney’s sustainability efforts have not stopped there.

The most recent achievement for their sustainability steering group has been securing funding to enhance greenspace, which won’t just benefit NHS Orkney, but the whole community.

They are planning to create an area large enough to accommodate three Polycroo Polytunnels, onsite at The Balfour.
