At present, this outbreak is localised to Kent, and there is no evidence of wider community spread in London. The UKHSA is actively managing the situation and contacting those considered to be at higher risk directly.

Getting health information for your housing application

Housing providers may ask you for medical information, if you are:

– homeless and/or applying for social housing support for the first time
– reporting recent changes in your health
– reporting how your current home is impacting your health
– reporting how/why your home is not suitable for your/your family’s circumstances

You do not need a GP letter for this.

You can obtain this information at no cost by using existing medical letters and a medical summary from your health records by logging in to the NHS App and going to the ‘Documents’ section.
