Significant impacts are possible across the health and social care services due to the high temperatures, including:

• a rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions. There may also be impacts on younger age groups
• a likely increase in demand for health services
• internal temperatures in care settings (hospitals and care homes) may exceed the recommended threshold for clinical risk assessment
• the cold affecting the ability of the workforce to deliver services
• indoor environments overcolding increasing the risk to vulnerable people living independently in community and care settings
