The health service faces a bill of more than ?30 million a year if poor houses in Northern Ireland are not improved, a report has warned.

A fifth of homes in Northern Ireland have a serious safety hazard, with f all risks, excessive cold, dampness and mould growth among problems identified by a Housing Executive review.

Homes dating back to the First World War and earlier are most likely to have issues, with less insulation and steep, winding staircases.
