| Annotation | More than 44,000 older people died of cold related illnesses in 1999 in the UK. Delegates at this seminar discussed the causes of excess winter deaths, and why those most in need appear not to be reached by energy efficiency schemes. Delegates stressed the potential for inclusive preventative work at a local level, and a co-ordinated approach by all agencies involved. (RH). |
