ABOLITION OF MEANS TEST FOR HOUSING ADAPTATIONS

Motion Text

That this House notes that the Steering Group of the Joint Fundamental Review of the Housing Adaptations Service comprising officials from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive and the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety earlier this year recommended a change in Northern Ireland legislation to exempt housing adaptations for children from a means test; and calls on the Government to ensure that this amending legislation is tabled for debate and enactment at the earliest possible opportunity.
