After a little over a month in power, the new government has already made its mark on the health service by offering a new pay deal for junior doctors, calling for an independent review of NHS performance, and announcing a reset of the New Hospital Programme.

With many sectors of the NHS hoping for improvements, this issue of Health Business looks at some key areas.

Liz Jones from the National Care Forum offers some post election reflections on adult social care, Sarah Greenslade from the British Parking Association looks at accessibility in hospital parking and the Hospital Catering Association explains the importance of healthy and sustainable food for hospital patients.

Dr Gavin Dunn from the Fire Protection Association discusses sustainability in fire safety, the Perimeter Security Suppliers Association looks at enhancing hospital security and the Modular and Portable Building Association talks about boosting hospital capacity.

Natalie Bungay from the British Pest Control Association explains the importance of pest control for protecting patients and staff, the Legionella Control Association will set out the risk from Legionella in healthcare settings and Jonathan Evans from the Association of British HealthTech Industries highlights the value of HealthTech.

There's also features on energy, healthcare environments, frameworks and staff mental health.
