DISABLED FACILITY GRANTS

Early day motion 35, tabled 25 May 2010 by Adrian Sanders (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 33 members.

That this House notes with concern that demand for adaptations to homes covered by the disabled facilities grant scheme far outweighs the funding available for the scheme; further notes that this results in delay completing vital adaptations to the homes of the elderly and infirm to allow them comfortably to live in their homes; and calls on the Government either to increase the direct disabled facilities grant in correlation with demand or increase the general funding grant made available to local authorities to allow them to adequately process and implement applications.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, Liberal Democrat 10, DUP 2, Conservative 1.
