Sleeping Rough: Death
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many rough sleeping deaths have been recorded between 11 May 2010 and 23 November 2022.
- Answer
-
On 3 September 2022, the Government published 'Ending Rough Sleeping for Good', building on the lessons learned during the pandemic. This set out how we will spend an unprecedented £2 billion over the next three years to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.
There are multiple, complex and overlapping drivers behind rough sleeping, which include trauma. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) sets out core principles for how care and support should be approached for people experiencing homelessness, including rough sleeping. Their guidance can be found here.
On deaths of homeless people, I refer the Hon. Member to the answer I gave to Question UIN 87907, on 23 November 2022.
