suffered health problems as a result of poor housing conditions.</p><p>PHE is working
with partners across the housing and health systems to reduce housing-related ill-health,
including in children, by supporting local authorities, the National Health Service
and frontline staff through guidance in the Cold Weather Plan and through the resources
available online in Homes for Health. More information is available at the following
