Report on the lessons learned from the summer 2007 flooding experiences, from an Estates and Facilities perspective (18th August 2008)
During June and July 2007, unprecedented rainfall occurred across certain parts of England, causing serious flooding and disruption to the social infrastructure, including health and social care services. Whilst most of England was affected, there were three main areas of the country where the most impact upon the health and social care services provision was felt. These areas are Gloucestershire, East Yorkshire (Hull) and South Yorkshire (Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster). Whilst it is recognised that other parts of the country were significantly affected, e.g. Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley, following discussions with colleagues at Strategic Health Authority level, it was envisaged that no additional lessons could be learned over and above those which should be identified by concentrating on the experiences of those involved in the three areas above.
