[Articles] Quantifying the health-care burden of temperature in the National Health Service in England: an economic analysis of resource use and costs

Temperature variability disrupts health-care delivery, straining service capacity during busy periods. These findings provide the first system-wide benchmark for understanding the health burden of temperature, highlighting potential discrepancies between mortality and access to care. Globally, health-care systems must anticipate these disruptions, and adaptation policies outside of health-care systems are essential to reduce health and financial pressures. Investments in climate-resilient infrastructure and strategies to protect vulnerable populations, especially older adults, are urgently needed.
