NHS guidance on planning for disruption to road fuel supply: strategic national guidance for NHS organisations

This document gives interim guidance to National Health Service organisations to assist with their business continuity management planning in response to a reduction of the normal availability of road fuel, from a minor disruption through to the activation of the National Emergency Plan – Fuel (NEP-F) 2008.  This guidance follows on from the NHS Resilience and Business Continuity Management Guidance 2008 and should be used in conjunction with the NHS Emergency Planning Guidance 2005.  It is subordinate to the Department for Energy and Climate Change’s NEP-F, which is currently undergoing further review.
