Dear Basingstoke and North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust,
1. Could you please provide a list of names and contact details for
the Trust/Hospital representatives who are responsible for managing
the repair and maintenance of water-mains and sewers on/within your
properties/premises.
2. Does the Trust/Hospital have a contractor(s) in place to deliver
your statutory duties with respect to the below activities:
Mitigating water loss from mains on/within all Trust/Hospital
property/premises. The Water Authorities undergo leakage detection
exercises and have powers to insist leaks are repaired without
delay.
Preventing Pollution of groundwater from poorly maintained and
leaking sewers on council land. Recent laws place the burden for
any pollution event upon the polluter (polluter pays)
Maintaining appropriate levels of water quality within
Trust/Hospital networks - Legislation places various obligations on
network owners for maintaining the quality of water on their
premises and to get the appropriate approvals before
up-grading/maintenance works are carried out.
3. Can you please provide the name and address of the contractor(s)
currently undertaking the work activities listed in point 2 above?
4. Can you please confirm the nature of the contract that you have
with these contractors and when the contract(s) is/are due to be
renewed?
5. Could you please confirm that should a contractor be required for relatively minor repair and maintenance work to mains and sewer on Hospital/Trust property there wouldn’t be a need for such a contractor to be apply to be included on an approved list of contractors
Yours faithfully,
D.Hodgkinson
