My Department does not provide specific funding to local authorities for the upgrading of kitchen units in their rented houses. However, in cases where my Department provides funding for overall refurbishment work to schemes of houses in need of remedial works, the upgrading of kitchen units is, where necessary, included as part of the refurbishment work. In other instances where the upgrading of kitchens is undertaken as a normal maintenance requirement, funding would fall to be provided by local authorities from their own resources as part of their ongoing maintenance programmes.
