The report concerns the Ministry of Defence’s maintenance of buildings.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether the Ministry of Defence has managed the maintenance of its buildings satisfactorily. Rigsrevisionen answers the following questions in the report:
- Has the Ministry of Defence conducted adequate building inspections?
- Does the Ministry of Defence have a sufficient plan for building maintenance?
Rigsrevisionen assesses that the Ministry of Defence’s maintenance of buildings warrants criticism. The Ministry lacks effective management and an overview of building conditions. Despite a significant maintenance backlog, not all allocated funds have been utilised. This has resulted in buildings being in worse condition than necessary and poor working conditions for Defence personnel. The Ministry has stated that by 2025, the maintenance backlog will total approximately DKK 15 billion.
Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in December 2024.
