Housing and Health ‐ Partnership Working at a Regional Level

This paper describes a partnership between the NHS Executive and the Housing Corporation in London to develop a joint work programme with the objectives of promoting a better understanding of the interface between housing and health and establishing healthy housing strategies through partnership working. Progress has been made to date in mapping organisational roles regionally, auditing current practice locally and holding seminars for housing and health professionals. Two partnership‐based projects have also been commissioned.
