More than 2 million people aged over 55 live in homes
that endanger their health, according to a report, with older homeowners who
cannot afford to maintain their home most at risk. Accidents and illnesses
caused by dangerous homes cost the NHS £1.4bn a year, according to Home and
Dry, a report by the Centre for Ageing Better and Care & Repair England
based on analysis of the English Household Survey. The average
non-decent home could be brought up to a decent standard for £2,866. A third of
homes could be repaired for less than £1,000. But previous funding to address
the problem has been withdrawn, the report says. Read more on the Guardian
