I support calls for a debate on housing and, in particular, the disabled persons housing scheme and the essential repairs grant. The health board housing aid scheme for the elderly has been substantial and successful. Some 1,200 individual projects were carried out by the Western Health Board last year. The scheme has many critics but it should be looked at as a basis for improvements that can be made in relation to housing repairs schemes.
