I propose to take Questions Nos. 1036 and 1038 together.
The Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability Scheme assists in the provision/adaptation of accommodation to meet the needs of people with a disability. The types of works grant aided under the Scheme are varied and may include the provision of access ramps, grab rails, downstairs toilet facilities, stair-lifts, accessible bathrooms, adaptations to facilitate wheelchair access, extensions etc. The administration of the Housing Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability Scheme, including the prioritisation, processing and approval of individual applications, is a matter for individual local authorities and one in which my Department has no direct function.
