Fuel poverty and respiratory disease: breaking the cycle

Around one in eight emergency admissions in England are linked to respiratory disease [1]. At the same time, cold, damp and poorly insulated homes continue to contribute to poor respiratory health, worsening existing conditions and increasing demand on health services[2]. Recent evidence highlights that millions of households across the UK remain at risk from the health impacts of cold homes and fuel poverty, underlining the importance of addressing wider determinants of health as part of integrated respiratory care [3].
