It is therefore important that we are prepared and ready to take action when cold temperatures occur, to protect the health of our communities and help reduce pressure on the health and social care system.* *Advice on how to reduce the risk either for yourself or somebody you know can be obtained from the winter health pages at NHS Choices ([www.nhs.uk](https://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/winterhealth/Pages/KeepWarmKeepWell.aspx)) or from your local chemist.
