And it's also very easy to pop in and see them at the moment, particularly if you're not actually all that ill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Right we need some ideas, most important thing is that they were ABSOLUTELY not suggested by the opposition party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't quite as crazy as it sounds - social prescribing is already a thing. What this would mean is rather than paying to keep everyone's bills low, you target it at the people that are most likely to die or need to be hospitalised, so protecting other services. The basic idea has been around for years, though it's usually "warmth on prescription ", I.e new heating system and insulation to make a home fit for purpose and reduce risk of hospitalisation. The problem with the above is that the policy quoted in the Sun above doesn't fix the long term issues, and a failure to do anything meaningful about housing stock's energy performance for decades (and particularly the last 12 years) means that it's a desperate idea, coming far too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s akin to Tory’s celebrating an opening of a food bank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
