I have two questions for Ms Naughton. With regard to medical priority, patients come to my surgery quite often looking for medical evidence regarding either moving from a house, because the one they are in is in poor condition, damp or affecting their health, or the effect on themselves or their children. I give medical evidence in that regard. Is it passed on to the medical officer employed by the council for verification, checking or additional assessment?
The second question concerns nationality. Is Ms Naugton saying that an individual who is not an Irish national does not have the same right or status in obtaining a house?
