Answer

I am advised that diesel fuel storage capacity for backup generators varies by site. The maximum generator run time following a full refill at hospitals and specialist facilities using diesel ranges from 8 hours to 1,068 hours, with a median of 90 hours. I refer the Member to Written Parliamentary Question 16981 (2026).
