In terms of that breakdown, we get a summary of needs assessment, which is submitted on an annual basis. The latest figures we have are from 1 November 2022. To go through the figures, there were 4,931 households and the main need for housing support was deemed to be one of the four disabilities, as well as the category of other disabilities. Of these, 3,842 households had a specific need based on disability. Therefore 1,089 households deemed to have a disability could access standard social housing. In 2022, 2,172 households, which make up 15% of the allocations, were for people with disabilities. There is a breakdown and the number of households that qualify for social support decreased by 1,150 since the previous assessment on 17 November. One-adult households remain the majority household grouping on the waiting list. We can provide that breakdown for the committee.
