The service helps them to stay warm and well at home and out of hospital in winter whilst reducing the energy consumption and carbon emissions of their home.   Alan Whitehead, Shadow Minister (Climate Change and Net Zero) and MP for Southampton Test called attention to Warm Home Prescription and put the question of whether the government is exploring “expanding [Warm Home Prescription]…or looking for alternative ways in which the health system and fuel poverty prevention can go hand in hand?”   Victoria Atkins, Secretary of State for Health, and Social Care, pointed to Warm Home Prescription as being an “excellent example of local collaboration between the NHS, local government and other partners.”   Hear the full response from the Secretary of State on the BBC: https://lnkd.in/gY75bc_K #WarmHomePrescription #HouseOfCommons #EnergyInnovation
