Budget crises, health and housing, response by Peter Ambrose
The data in the article make a powerful case for the overall cost- effectiveness of welfare spending and Figure 1 puts our debt situation into proper, rather than hysterical, perspective.

Budget crises, health and housing, response by Stephen Battersby
To many upstream interventions to improve health outcomes seem a self–evident approach to take. Most certainly money spent on improving housing is money invested in health. If we don’t spend money on unsatisfactory housing, society will pay, again and again. Work by the BRE Trust using the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, (developed on the basis of actual health impacts of housing conditions) shows that as a minimum poor housing costs the NHS £600 million a year and that the full costs to society are more like £1.5 billion.
