Thanks, I've already written 25,000 words - considering the mental state of the cab trade already I'm going to wear this keyboard out ffs http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov. ... /DH_120104Uncover any known links between the proposed policy and health
The Health Impact Assessment Gateway offers on-line access to a wide range of HIAs. Some are national, or international, others about regional or local policies, plans, programmes and projects. They provide easy access to the health impact assessment literature and show how others have worked to maximise positive and minimise negative health impacts in key areas such as transport, environment, crime, housing and employment.
There may also be research, assessments and evaluations undertaken inside Government, by interested parties and pressure groups, by academic researchers and by international agencies such as the World Health Organisation and by other Governments.
Useful links for accessing the health evidence are given in the publication in this series Health Impact
Assessment – evidence on health.
Finally, all the possible health impacts identified, both the positive and negative, should be recorded.
Table 2 in Appendix A provides a framework for recording the health impacts.Amongst the many and varied medical conditions cited as being directly attributable to, or intensified by, liberalisation, are strokes, hypertension, high cholesterol and heart problems, stress, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, asthma, colitis, back problems, and fatigue. Whilst this by no means purports to be an exhaustive list of ailments, it is, however, a representative sample of the nature, range and severity of the conditions which are claimed to have been suffered by a large number of individuals who made submissions to the Panel.I think they better redo this health assessment
