Housing is a key factor in people's health. Poorly maintained, overcrowded, cold, damp or insecure homes are key generators of poor physical and mental health, as well as driving wider differences in the population. Poor housing costs the NHS in Wales in the region of £100m per year with people with chronic conditions becoming sicker, visiting the GP or hospital more often and is linked with both increased healthcare need and reduced access to care.Good quality housing is essential for health and well-being. Every £1 spent on home adaptations can generate £7.50 of health and social care cost savings, whilst reducing wider social and health differences that we often see.This project will identify the homes that can most benefit through the linkage of housing and health data. We will use the details from Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) that are created every time a property is sold or rented. These contain useful information which tells us a lot about the energy efficiency of a house and also what can be done to improve this.There is a scheme called ECO4 which is a UK-wide £1billion fund created from the profits of energy companies. ECO4 provides grants to fund energy efficient upgrades to homes reducing emissions, electricity and energy bills. Grants pay for new heating systems like boilers, loft or installation designed primarily to increase energy efficiency, reduce fuel poverty and energy costs and improvement health benefits. Part of this scheme called LA Flex allows local authorities to also propose properties to receive the grants for improvement where the people living there have a chronic health condition.This project has three key objectives; Identify the target population and individuals who will benefit from ECO4; Develop the plan how to deliver the operation; and Exploring of how we will deliver this in statutory way with multiple stakeholders.As a group we have already completed a successful project where we looked at the differences in Covid rates and hospital attendance for people living in Social Housing opened by Hafod Housing. We will work with Hafod again to deliver this project looking at how we can improve their housing stock but many of the approaches we aim to develop will be useful for many homes both in Cwm Taf Morgannwg and beyond.

住房是影响人们健康的一个关键因素。住房维护不善、过度拥挤、寒冷、潮湿或不安全是导致人们身心健康状况不佳的主要原因，并且导致该地区的国民医疗服务体系 (NHS) 因住房条件差而造成更大的差异。每年花费 1 亿英镑，慢性病患者病情加重，更频繁地去看全科医生或去医院，这与医疗保健需求的增加和获得护理的机会的减少有关。每花费 1 英镑，优质住房对于健康和福祉至关重要。关于家居改造可以节省 7.5 英镑的健康和社会护理成本，同时减少我们经常看到的更广泛的社会和健康差异。该项目将通过住房和健康数据的联系来确定最能受益的家庭，我们将使用能源部门的详细信息。每次出售或出租房产时都会创建性能证书 (EPC)，其中包含有用的信息，可以告诉我们很多有关房屋能源效率的信息，以及可以采取哪些措施来改善这一点。有一个名为 ECO4 的计划。是全英国范围内ECO4 从能源公司的利润中设立了 10 亿英镑的基金，为减少排放、电力和能源费用的家庭节能升级提供补助金，用于支付新的供暖系统，如锅炉、阁楼或主要用于提高能源效率、减少燃料的装置。该计划的一部分称为“LA Flex”，允许地方当局向患有慢性健康状况的居民提供补助金。该项目有三个关键目标：受益人口和个人ECO4；制定如何实施手术的计划；并探索我们如何与多个利益相关者以法定方式实施这一计划。作为一个团队，我们已经完成了一个成功的项目，我们研究了人们的新冠感染率和住院就诊率的差异我们将再次与 Hafod Housing 合作实施这个项目，研究如何改善他们的住房存量，但我们旨在开发的许多方法将对 Cwm Taf Morgannwg 及其他地区的许多家庭有用。 。
