Health and Fuel Poverty Review Survey

[ALEO Admin]

NEA has been commissioned, on behalf of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Liverpool City Council, to collate information on energy efficiency or fuel poverty schemes operating across the UK which either entirely or in part are deliberately targeting households containing someone with a health condition or disability and are either entirely or partly funded by health – or health funding has been sought.

By responding to this survey, you will contribute to the collection of evidence that will feature in a national report, and a UK-wide update to the 2015 DECC Catalogue of Fuel Poverty and Health schemes in England covering England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and focusing on schemes that have successfully secured health funding and/or utilised evidence on the health impacts of affordable warmth interventions in innovative ways.

The report will identify:

• parts of the health sector that are most engaged with the cold homes agenda;
• which local partnerships have been most effective in leveraging finance and support from health bodies and why;
• types of evidence that has secured engagement and buy-in from health partners; and
• geographical and sector variance in health-sector funded work to tackle cold homes.

The report and catalogue will also identify and disseminate good practice, and give guidance on how fuel poverty scheme providers can evidence the case for heath sector investment and involvement.

The survey will take approximately 15 – 30 minutes to complete, and not all questions will be applicable to you. The majority of questions are a mixture of multiple choice options and drop-down menus, with some open-ended text boxes.

The survey can be accessed from https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/UnderOneRoofCFE

The deadline for completing the survey is Friday, 6 October 2017 at 4pm.
