This is a report of the findings of a half-day health impact assessment (HIA) scoping workshop held 5 May 2010 which identified potential health and wellbeing impacts of Glasgow’s Local Housing Strategy (LHS). Importantly, the workshop examined some of the potential differential impacts of the consultative draft of the LHS on different population groups. Findings are based on the knowledge and experience of those present at the workshop. This report is not a definitive statement or assessment of impacts but presents possible impacts that may require further assessment. The report identifies 66 initial recommended actions/questions to be addressed by the LHS policy team in order to understand the impacts further.
