Highlights weaknesses in existing models of the housing stock and proposes a new model intended to overcome them. The model uses data from the English House Condition Survey to illustrate the effects of various scenarios and repair options. Encourages all the hazards measured in the survey to be compared, and identifies repair solutions which provide direct benefit to the NHS through reduced injury rates and treatment costs.- publisher.
