Energy conservation: when the bill is in millions.

Current energy economy measures are estimated to be saving the NHS 30 m pounds a year. It is believed that at least another 30 m pounds at today's prices can be saved without affecting direct patient care or general comfort levels in hospitals. This article by V.E. Skegg, superintending engineer, DHSS, outlines the nature of the problem and the steps being taken. It also emphasises the need for the active co-operation of all staff, both administrative and other disciplines, particularly in the use of electricity, if the amount and cost of energy is to be contained.
