ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concept discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book demonstrates the excellent work Environmental Health Public (EHPs) and their colleagues are doing across the range of innovative interventions and support in addressing, for example, the behaviour of criminal landlords. The EHP role is both preventative and reactive, to work with partners to deliver better living environments in the first place that help promote health, but also to respond to conditions they find with effective strategies and interventions to help protect the health and safety of residents. EHPs work across housing tenures and forms of ownership, but hold the greatest responsibility for private housing owner occupiers and the privately rented sector. They can really assist owner-occupiers with adaptations as their housing needs change, and need new resources in this area to help deliver cost effective services.
