Today, the Government has published its long-awaited National Plan to End Homelessness.
We’re delighted to see a firm commitment to ending the unacceptable practice of discharging people from hospital to the street. @Pathwayuk has long called for this vital and overdue change.

We welcome ambitions set out in the Plan:
✅Improving existing funding streams to support specialist intermediate care.
✅Embedding housing officers in hospital discharge teams.
✅Improving access to care and challenging the stigma people facing homelessness experience.

The commitments require further concrete action to bring real change, and there are also reasons for caution. Housing is the ultimate foundation to good health and the strategy overlooks key proven measures that would help end homelessness.

Doctors are the experts on health, and what helps and harms our health. It’s therefore so powerful to see them standing up for the dangers faced by people experiencing homelessness and calling for action in the Government’s forthcoming homelessness strategy. We support the call.
People experiencing homelessness face extreme, often preventable and treatable, health harms.
The BMA is deeply concerned by these inequalities and yesterday we wrote to ministers setting out our key priorities for the upcoming homelessness strategy for England.

In 2024/25, the specialist homelessness teams:
✅Helped 4,778 patients experiencing homelessness, a 41% increase on 23/24
✅Reduced returns to rough sleeping by 62% and to sofa surfing by 33%
✅Registered 70% of patients with no prior access to primary care with accessible GPs

✅ Saved the NHS £9m per year in avoided costs
✅ Freed up 13,000 bed days for other patients by reducing readmissions
@PathwayUK's hospital homelessness teams must be part of the solution for the cash-strapped NHS, and a central plank of the Gov’s drive to end homelessness.

We were delighted to have the opportunity to speak to the British Medical Association Board of Science meeting about the critical links between homelessness and health.
The BMA's recognition of the life-threatening nature of homelessness is a major step forward.
