I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply. I accept how funding is allocated. My issue is with who is responsible for delivering. Ten days ago I spent an hour on the telephone, going from one person to another within the city council. I went from the official who had inspected the house to the official in charge of finance to the architects' department and back to finance. No one person is in charge of a file. Local authorities have disability officers for staff with disabilities. Why can we not have one person allocated the job in a local authority of ensuring an application does not fall between different stools, as a result of which somebody has to wait six and a half years? Will this matter be examined?
