I would like clarification, particularly relating to people with disabilities. The Minister is aware people are living longer. The biggest issues that local authorities have are housing adaptation and mobility grants, stair lifts and housing for the elderly. With this plan, particularly as it relates to developments of over 100 units and new builds, must every home have a bathroom downstairs? Local authorities are seeking much funding for people with disabilities or elderly people as a downstairs bathroom is now a must, particularly as people are living longer. Will all new builds and particularly those in the local authorities have a downstairs bathroom?
