The commitments require further concrete action to bring real change, and there are also reasons for caution. Housing is the ultimate foundation to good health and the strategy overlooks key proven measures that would help end homelessness.

Today, the Government has published its long-awaited National Plan to End Homelessness.

We’re delighted to see a firm commitment to ending the unacceptable practice of discharging people from hospital to the street. @Pathwayuk has long called for this vital and overdue change.

[Pathway @PathwayUK]

We welcome ambitions set out in the Plan:

✅Improving existing funding streams to support specialist intermediate care.
✅Embedding housing officers in hospital discharge teams.
✅Improving access to care and challenging the stigma people facing homelessness experience.

[Pathway @PathwayUK]

Thank you for sharing🙂

Doctors are the experts on health, and what helps and harms our health. It’s therefore so powerful to see them standing up for the dangers faced by people experiencing homelessness and calling for action in the Government’s forthcoming homelessness strategy. We support the call.

[The BMA @TheBMA]

People experiencing homelessness face extreme, often preventable and treatable, health harms.

The BMA is deeply concerned by these inequalities and yesterday we wrote to ministers setting out our key priorities for the upcoming homelessness strategy for England.

@PathwayUK has called for this change for many years and are very pleased to have contributed to the thinking.

Many thanks to @NHSEngland's health inequalities team, to Mary Hill & Cicely Ryder-Belson.

[Pathway @PathwayUK]

We warmly welcome the news that, for the first time, housing status has been included in @NHSEngland's
Statement of Information on Health Inequalities, setting out what information Trusts and Integrated Care Boards should collect to meet their equalities duties.

Recording of patient housing status drives:

🤕 Better understanding of the needs of patients facing homelessness
🏥 Better commissioning of services to meet people’s needs
🔦Greater accountability for services and outcomes

[Pathway @PathwayUK]

✅ Saved the NHS £9m+ per year in avoided costs
✅ Freed up 13,000+ bed days for other patients by reducing readmissions

@PathwayUK's hospital homelessness teams must be part of the solution for the cash-strapped NHS, and a central plank of the Gov’s drive to end homelessness.

Last week we had an excellent 2 days delivering inclusion health induction training for the brilliant St George University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Homelessness Inclusion Team (HIT), a specialist homelessness hospital team we support on our Pathway Partnership Programme.

[Pathway @PathwayUK]

With funding re-established, we’re thrilled that HIT’s life changing work is continuing.

Prioritising safe hospital discharge, the multidisciplinary team's highly skilled, person-centred approach has reduced the number of patients returning to rough sleeping by 60%.

[Pathway @PathwayUK]

We were delighted to have the opportunity to speak to the British Medical Association Board of Science meeting about the critical links between homelessness and health.

The BMA's recognition of the life-threatening nature of homelessness is a major step forward.

This is relevant to all frontline homeless and inclusion health staff, but applications from London will be given priority. @PathwayUK @BurdettTrust @janeyecook @SchnellerKendra @CrystalOldman
