Do GPs write letter to help with housing?

[MsHopey]

I've got terrible mould in my living room. Originally my DS cot was against it until we moved the cot and saw how bad the mould was.
Been doing our best to keep him away from it, now he's a toddler he wants to eat the flaking paint .
I've contacted my local council (i am currently a tenant in a one bedroom flat) they've said I will need a GPs letter to prove it's affecting DS health before they seriously look at moving us.
DS is 11 months and has had several coughs and colds including a stomach infection that left him in hospital on a drip for 3 days when he was 4 months old.
But will do GPs write letters like this to the council? Is it common?

I hope you're being a pessimist rather than a realist. Because they basically reads that my letter isn't worth the paper it's written on.
It's lists the visits I've had to the GP regarding his health. And mentions our hospital visits, and says the mould could be a contributing factor.
We haven't got a housing shortage where I am, there's just a rule you have to stay in the same property for 2 years before being eligible to move. But you can move on exceptional circumstances if you apply to the application team, but supporting evidence is needed, which is what I am trying to supply.

Honestly? May well not be worth anything, it's likely to have to say that the mould is definitely contributing. Which if course your GP can't say. But if no housing shortage maybe they'll be more lenient. Fingers 🤞

I'll update when the council have gotten back to me and what their next steps are.
It is always a possibility they'll make an exception, I've heard of it happening for others because of similar circumstances.

I am entirely in agreement with @laptopdisaster. 'Cardies' make all GPs' lives harder by accepting responsibility for things which shouldn't be medical problems.

I hope you get to move house soon.
