2.2 Could you also break down these costs into the following risk categories, for each year:
- High Risk and Critical Repairs: What is the estimated cost to eradicate high-risk backlog maintenance in hospital buildings under your Trust from 2019 to 2024?
- Moderate and Low Risk Repairs: What is the estimated cost to eradicate non-critical repairs in hospital buildings under your Trust for the same period?
| Critical (£m) | Non critical (£m) | Total (£m) | |
