– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 22 June 2009.
Question S3W-24796
To ask the Scottish Executive whether any assessment has been made of the impact of increased demands on health services due to the increase in repossession actions.
The lack of separate Scottish data on repossessions, highlighted in the Repossessions Group’s report, makes it difficult to assess the impact of repossessions on health and other services. We have pressed the Financial Services Authority to require lenders to provide separate Scottish data.
NHS boards are required to have health and homelessness action plans. Assessment of these plans led to the development of the Health and Homelessness Standards which introduced a comprehensive framework for the healthcare and support of homeless people.
