title: Making sense of the government's vision.
abstract: Making healthcare provision more sustainable against a backdrop where 'even the sceptics are admitting the Earth will face cataclysmic change if the economy and environment are not re-aligned', maintaining safe, sustainable care environments while experiencing 'a reform programme so big that you can see it from space', and the importance to a high quality future healthcare estate of construction frameworks, integrated supply chains, and new capital funding sources, were among the topics addressed in an interesting session involving speakers from the NHS Sustainable Development Unit, the NHS Confederation, and ProCure21 +, on the first morning of November's Healthcare Estates conference.
