I wish to ask one final question about the collaboration between the National Disability Authority and local authorities when it comes to accommodation for people with disabilities and people in wheelchairs.

I am not sure local authorities always think about having the right size of door. While I know there are standards now, I know of two or three people who were in local authority accommodation for people with wheelchairs and they moved out because they found it impossible to get supports or to move around the complex. Could the witnesses comment on that?
