The first NHS sites are set to save on bills after installing solar panels under a £180 million investment from publicly owned Great British Energy, officials said.

Five sites across the country from hospitals to ambulance stations, along with three more schools, had solar panels installed over the summer, while a further eight schools are set to get the equipment in the autumn.
