Section 15(1)(b), as drafted, requires housing authorities to have regard to the details of "social housing assessments prepared under section 21". The summaries in question will identify the need for social housing, as aggregated from a more refined assessment process under section 20. That process provides for resources to be tailored to meet the identified needs of the individual. The proposed amendment would not add anything meaningful to this section of the Bill, or to the process in question. Therefore, I do not intend to accept it.
