On the issue of housing by local authorities, I find there is very little co-ordination. Say, for argument's sake, a housing authority is dealing with an estate of 80 houses, which was something I saw recently. I do not believe any house in that development was specifically set aside for people with disabilities. Could there be far more co-ordination in that area? Where a housing scheme is being built by a local authority or a statutory agency, such as Tuath Housing or Respond, can there be more co-ordination in setting aside units specifically for people with disabilities? I do not think that has been put in place in real terms.
