It would be very difficult to make a comprehensive
set of links to cover sustainable energy, but instead we have
put links on this page to sites that we have found interesting or
useful as an organisation (although we do not necessarily endorse
all content of the sites linked from this page). We would very
much like to hear
from you if you have any
suggestions for this page, or if any of the links are broken.
Health and Fuel
Poverty
The
Health and Social Care Change Agent Team (CAT) -
set up in 2002 to help health and social care communities tackle
the problem of patients staying in hospitals longer than necessary.
Their remit has grown, and they now provide advice and
support on a wide range of issues
that affect the care of older people. CAT's Housing Learning Information
Network brings together groups of senior staff within local authorities,
Primary Care Trusts, Registered Social Landlords and the private
sector interested in forging closer partnerships in delivering
housing with extra care solutions for older people.
