Housing, health and human beings:Lessons from England on the challenges of establishing an integrated approach to fuel poverty
Simon Roberts6 October 2014Energy Action Conference, Dublin cse_bristol
Fuel poverty is not a priority…
nor should it be.
But living in a cold home makes most health conditions worse.
So tackle the cold home to improve health outcomes.
NICE guidance: Key draft recommendations• Focus on role of cold homes in exacerbating local health
problems and reflect in resulting strategies
• Use health data and housing data to identify people at risk and trigger appropriate interventions
• Commission services to tackle cold homes (and access support from others) and participate in effective referral networks
• Don’t discharge vulnerable from hospital to a cold home
