Sustaining Progress: Statements.
It is interesting that affordable housing has been identified in this agreement as one of the key drivers in terms of policy delivery and what we want to give back to the people. More and more people who visit my clinic on a weekly basis are saving the money they need to put down their deposit, ensuring that they have enough work to earn sufficient money to buy an affordable house and then getting into the system to benefit from that scheme. People do not want to be provided for by the State. They want to buy their own homes. The brilliant thing now is that they are doing so, either on their own as single people or together as couples. That is the way we will continue to go forward.
