The UK Parliament’s second session focusing on “healthy places” will explore the relationship between housing and health. Expert testimonies will be heard, and questions will address various aspects, including the NHS’s costs associated with poor housing, the quality of rental properties, indoor ventilation, and noise pollution. The inquiry aims to gather evidence on how housing design can enhance people’s health. Additionally, discussions are expected to touch on government plans to create more homes through housebuilding or the transformation of non-residential buildings to promote healthy living environments.
This session is part of a broader inquiry into preventing ill-health, with the previous session focused on incorporating physical activity into local areas.
