'This timely guide to the role of primary care in the important area of housing and health will give us all reasons to stop and think. In the area of social housing, GPs can have a genuine impact' David Haslam, in the Foreword 'This timely guide to the role of primary care in the important area of housing and health will give us all reasons to stop and think. I had never actually thought of re-housing as being a positively therapeutic act until I read this. In the area of social housing, GPs can have a genuine impact. In addition, primary care trusts now have a public health function, and there can be few more important aspects of public health than inadequate housing. This publication presents the very considerable evidence base for the very clear link between housing and health, and also reviews the dreadful effects of homelessness. This focus on the housing needs of our patients, and the health disaster that homelessness and inadequate housing represent, can begin to help us make a difference'; David Haslam, in the Foreword
