Fuel Poverty Research Library
Since 1997, EAGA Charitable Trust has funded research on topics related to fuel poverty and health. In 2001 the Trust organised a seminar in London to profile recent and ongoing studies in this area and further promote the importance of engaging with the health sector in order to tackle fuel poverty. This report is a compilation of the proceedings.

Each summary describes the findings and conclusions of the research and notes the key issues raised in the subsequent discussions. It also includes notes on the plenary session, which focused on future research priorities and a general analysis of the current situation.
