Improvement schemes will be rolled out in ‘small chunks’ across the trust sites in all the areas identified. It is recognised that it is not practical or financially viable to achieve continual improvement across all areas. The areas to be targeted will be consistent with the environmental policy and be prioritised to address areas of highest risk.
