- Rose Chard, Energy Systems Catapult, walks through the Warm Homes on Prescription trial, a successful example of co-benefits in action
The Warm Home Prescription service has trialled and delivered to over 1,000 homes across the UK. It is an innovative service that finds people with health conditions made worse by the cold and gives them immediate, effective support by providing what they need to keep their home at a warm, healthy temperature. It has been described as an “excellent example of local collaboration between the NHS, local government and other partners” by Victora Atkins, previous Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
