Comments
The Finance and Economics Committee, whilst supporting in principle the provision of housing modifications for the disabled, has asked the Employment and Social Security, Housing and Health and Social Services Committees to either reprioritise existing resources in order to make the first year's finance available or else develop alternative funding proposals, with a request for future years to be put forward in the normal prioritisation process.
The Finance and Economics Committee will join with the Committees concerned to address all the outstanding issues regarding eligibility and means-testing guidelines, identification as to how States' funds would be safeguarded in the event of the sale of a property which had been specially modified and the changes required to the Dwelling Houses Loan Fund, prior to proceeding further with the proposal.
