It is a good scheme. I hope and pray, when the review is finished, that it is not made any more complicated for the applicants. Lots of times when people are looking for something to be done in terms of an adaptation, their mother or father is in hospital after an operation, their mobility is affected and they need to get something done fast. People do not think about these things in lots of cases until they need them. It is important for there to be flexibility. If something needs to be done to the house in an emergency, to allow somebody to come home, which is part of Sláintecare, there should be a facility to submit before and after photographs to help get the work done faster.
