QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

To ask the Chief Executive how many people who have children with rare complex medical needs (using hoists etc) are waiting to be housed in the county and what is the length of time they are waiting?

REPLY:

The Council does not currently record numbers of children with complex medical needs. There are currently 713 applications with medical approval on the Housing Waiting List. Applicants who do not require specially adapted properties continue to have access to Choice Based Letting.

Properties assigned to the medical unit will be offered to applicants in accordance with the Council's Allocation Scheme.
