The Scheme of Community Support for Older People supports qualifying older people, aged 65 and older, by providing funding towards the cost of purchasing and installing monitored personal alarms, monitored smoke/carbon-monoxide detectors and other ancillary items of security equipment. Applications for assistance under the Scheme can only be submitted through an individual applicant's local community or voluntary organisation.

My Department has contacted the relevant local community group administering the Scheme in that area and the group has undertaken to make contact with the person in question with a view to submitting an application for support on their behalf.
