Labour plans 'NHS forest' of a million trees at hospitals

Shadow minister to tell conference he will make health service the world's greenest

An "NHS forest" of a million trees would be planted at hospitals across the UK under a Labour government as part of the party's plans for a green revolution.

Under proposals due to be outlined at the party's autumn conference, Labour will say it wants to plant the trees at hospitals to battle pollution and counteract the NHS's carbon footprint.
