THE RE‐EMERGENCE OF THE public health agenda and the continued high level of scrutiny of the outcomes of activities in the public sector have created the need to try and work towards agreement on what a 'healthy housing policy' might look like. This in turn leads to a requirement for broad agreement on the mechanisms to be used to measure the impact of operational policies in this area. The paper explores the background to these shifts in social policy and offers some thoughts on healthy housing policies for practitioners to consider.
