Text
Minister, we live now in an ageing society, and, clearly, I am also well in that ballpark. As the society ages, it is more likely that many people will suffer from a disability of one form or another, and, as a result, the demand for disability adaptations and the like will increase. The facilities grant is already struggling to cope with demand, so when will the review of that grant be completed? Will its recommendations be implemented by 2027?
