14. How we are organised

15. Place-based approach to public health Non-statutory providers* NHS providers People and communities Health and wellbeing boards NHSE area team PHE centre Local government CCGs • EPPR • Screening and immunisation • Offender public health programmes • Specialised commissioning • Primary care public health programmes and population healthcare Public health advice *Including voluntary and community sector

16. Leverage from the public health ring fence DsPH have influence across all local government spend Influence on wider spending in commercial and voluntary sectors Clinical Commissioning Groups And NHS England PHE provides expert advice to local government PHE provides expertise in local area teams Embedding ‘making every contact count’

17. Much more than… • Accidents • Cold homes • Mental health

18. Housing to public health? • A challenge • A wider determinant of health (Marmot 2010) • The ‘bricks and mortar’ house • 21% (4.8m) homes are hazardous to health – 88% private sector • Costs NHS up to £2bn p.a. (BRE, 2015) • Replacing homes at a rate of 0.5% of stock p.a. • Homelessness • A consequence and cause of health inequality • Over 90,000 children in temporary accommodation in Dec 2014 • Rough sleeping increased 55% between 2010 and 2014 • Single homelessness costs NHS over £85m p.a. (Crisis, 2010)

19. Housing to public health? • A solution • Home is the ‘health setting’ for most people throughout life • An opportunity to intervene at points where the home environment or housing circumstances are most likely to make a difference • Housing-related services • Enable people to remain independent in their own home for as long as they choose, or to move from crisis into their own home • A priority workforce (RSPH, 2015) of c. 250k people who are in a position to contribute to improved health outcomes • Regular contacts with households facing some of the greatest inequalities, living in the most deprived communities

20. The right home environment • Evidence suggests it can: • Improve health & wellbeing & prevent ill-health • Enable people to manage their health and care needs • Allow people to remain in their own home for as long as they choose • Ensure positive care experiences • It contributes to: • Delayed & reduced need for primary care & social care interventions, including admission to long-term care • Timely discharge & reduced hospital re-admissions • Rapid recovery from periods of ill-health or planned admissions

35. National commissioning framework • No targets or outcomes framework • DCLG policy lead but cross-government interest eg, • DWP: welfare policy • BIS: housing market & economy • DECC: climate change & fuel poverty • DH: health and wellbeing • Home Office: reducing re-offending • Legislation spans many Acts, very little regulation • National housing sector bodies • No single organisation & can be competition • Chartered Institutes: CIH and CIEH • Membership bodies eg, Homeless Link, SITRA • LGA: reflects elected members interests (see national!)

36. Local commissioning framework • No duty to commission right home environment • Localism Act 2011 devolved most policy making • Overall reduction in capital & revenue expenditure • Greater role of private, voluntary & community sectors • To achieve ambitions have to look to • Existing housing specific duties eg, homelessness • Existing and emerging related duties eg, Health & Social Care Act 2012, Care Act & Children and Families Act 2014 • Policy ‘opportunities’ (wide national interest) • New relationships: use of combined intelligence & assets • Complicated - must have a strategy but most don’t

37. PHE approach to date • Want to set an example • ‘science and art’ and ‘organised efforts of society’ • Listening to national partners & local areas, life course approach • National housing & health memorandum of understanding • Examples of systems-wide support • Single homeless population healthcare – Homeless Link • Resources to support ‘right home’ pathway for TB patients – Our Life • Examples of commissioning support
