Do the Scottish population value NHS outdoor spaces?

Urban heat has been identified as one of the most serious effects of climate change and urban areas will need to adapt using various measures such as the provision of more green, blue and open spaces1. There is a large body of evidence showing greenspace exposure has a positive effect on health and wellbeing2,3. Many NHS facilities provide such spaces, however, understanding the monetary value placed on these spaces by the Scottish public will demonstrate if such spaces are subsequently valued. This highlights to policymakers what NHS estates are being valued thus providing examples of good practice in provision of green space.
