I understand the point about the medical card outlined by the Teachta, but another proposal was made at the committee, which was about giving additional weighting when it comes to social housing lists. There is a HMD form – I always call it HDMI – for the social housing waiting list that takes people's medical needs into account as well. Could something like that be brought in for the waiting list for social housing? Has the Minister considered that as part of the Bill?
