The Health Costs of Cold Dwellings
7 April 2011: Caring for people made ill by living in cold rented homes costs the NHS £145 million a year, reveals new research launched by Friends of the Earth today. The analysis – The Health Costs of Cold Dwellings – carried out for the Chartered Institute for Environmental Health, found that 655,800 homes in England rented from a landlord or letting agency are so cold they are officially a health hazard, with a bottom-of-the-scale energy efficiency rating of F or G. A regional breakdown of the modelling is provided and suggests that some 82,000 dwellings in private rented dwellings in London are associated with excess cold. The estimated costs to the NHS of not treating these dwellings in London is just under £19m.
