The aim of the Fuel poverty and health toolkit is to improve the quality of life, to reduce morbidity and avoidable winter deaths, and to reduce winter strain on the NHS, by encouraging strategic planners and health professionals, in partnership with local authorities, to devise and implement well targeted local strategies to reduce fuel poverty.

It is aimed at strategic planners, National Service Framework coordinators and leads, primary care professionals and those working on fuel poverty strategies in local partnerships.

The Fuel poverty and health toolkit contains:

Fuel poverty and health: A guide for primary care organisations, and public health and primary care professionals (68-page book)
Fighting fuel poverty: Helping people stay warm (a leaflet for health professionals - 10 copies)
A poster for use in primary care
An easy-to-use client referral form
