A programme for Health Impact Assessment in Brighton and Hove.

HIA is based on the theory of health determinants, which recognizes that well-being is determined by a wide range of economic, social and environmental factors, by heredity and medical intervention. The intended HIA procedure represents a new approach to the evaluation of all local authority policies in order to assess their potential health impacts and to improve the quality of governmental decisions, through recommendations to enhance predicted positive health impacts and minimize negative ones.

Are general practitioners' assessments of housing applicants' health accurate?

Public sector housing is often allocated on the basis of the 'vulnerability' of applicants. As part of assessing vulnerability, housing departments request assessments from applicants' general practitioners (GPs). GP assessments submitted over 3 years to a local authority housing department were analysed. The nature of the patient group and format of the GP report discriminate against accurate reporting and hence fair assignment of housing.
