Dr. Emer Begley:

I thank the Senator for her question. She is so right that there is siloing and a lack of joined-up thinking on this. One of the key inputs we wanted to make is that all housing should be future-proofed and built to a universally designed plus-plus standard in order that it will be accessible for everybody. That would avoid some of the development of housing that is congregating people into developments, which is not true integration into the community.
