Abstract
Purpose - Using some case examples from Care & Repair England in the UK, this paper aims to focus on the integration of housing help in a hospital setting. Design/methodology/approach - The paper gives some background on Care & Repair and the development of local housing and hospital linked projects. The broader debate about the role of housing is then considered. Findings - Key recommendations from the case studies are discussed and the wider debate on improving integration is considered in relation to the UK Government's recent Care and Support White Paper. Originality/value - The paper considers the role that housing plays in health and social care provision and why people engaged in the sector should continue to work towards better integration of housing, health and social care.
