Perhaps the Minister will explain what the Government intends to do to resolve this impasse because this is a serious problem in the midlands. Elderly people, disabled people and those who are in pain are waiting to have necessary repairs to their houses carried out under the disabled person's grant, but their medical certificates are not being signed so the local authority is not in a position to process their applications. Those people need some quality of life. They are the most vulnerable people in our society and everyone's heart bleeds for them. I appeal to the Minister to do something about this issue.
