Text

Thank you, Minister. It is good to hear about the amount of money that is being invested in that way, because it is being invested on behalf of the most vulnerable people in our community. I hope that you will have a reasonable budget for that. I also hope that you understand the issues with the disabled facilities grant, including the number of reports that have to be made in order to gain it. Minister, will you commit to looking at the case of a young constituent of mine who is disabled and living in a downstairs bedroom and who urgently needs a disabled facilities grant in order to live her best life?
