Risk Description

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 heat affecting the ability of the workforce to deliver services
  • indoor environments overheating increasing the risk to vulnerable people living independently in community and care settings
