Rather than turning this hospital building into housing maybe Camden council should take back ex-council properties, there are a large number of ex-council houses which were acquired by tennants under the 'Right to buy' scheme and the landlords are absent,they are just using the properties for leasing out for making money, however these private landlords are setting rent rates at prices people cannot afford and therefore some are left empty, others are empty because the landlords are not able to fund repairs or find a buyer, the council should take back empty houses and take property off absent landlords where properties are left empty, the council should also scrap its plans of selling off council housing too. The National Temperence Hospital should be bought back under the UCL group and reopened to relieve strain of its main hospital, or else move private wards to the site which would be more commercially viable
