Mr. John Randles:

The programme is broken into two categories. A change to the programme was announced in the middle of February this year whereby the prioritisation was for E, F or G rated homes first. However, prior to that, we were heavily impacted by Covid so we have been clearing out the pre-Covid waiting list. We are now moving on to applications and conducting surveys of applications that were made this year, from February onwards. Overall, less than 30% of the homes are suitable for shallow measures such as cavity and wall insulation. The poorer performing the home, the deeper the retrofit that is required. It is the case that E, F or G rated homes tend to be in fairly bad condition and require a fair bit of intervention, possibly even a heating system.
