Agenda Item 3(b)

Public Question on Homeless Deaths

“The museum of homelessness an organisation who monitor nationwide homeless deaths finally after a struggle to get an FOI response on homeless deaths in which cllrs and myself had to intervene, have told me the following: 

“the council has told us of 31 deaths in 2021, all of which took place in supported or emergency accommodation. This is not dissimilar to the number they provided us in 2020, which was 30.”

 This is very high

 Would the council consider commissioning a report into these by BH Healthwatch in order to fully understand how this happened?”
