WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMITÉ DES CONNÉTABLES BY DEPUTY J.H. YOUNG OF ST. BRELADE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2013

Question

Will the Chairman provide the Assembly with details of the present number of sheltered homes, retirement, lifetime or appropriate housing for the over 55s provided by each parish, together with the number of persons in each parish waiting for this accommodation to become available?

Answer

1. The number of units given in column 1 is the total present number of sheltered homes, retirement, lifetime or appropriate housing for the over 55s provided by each parish and excludes  residential  homes,  units  currently  under  construction  or  for  which  planning permission has been received, and units provided by other privately run bodies for elderly residents.
2. The number of persons given in column 2 is those on the parish's waiting list, if such is maintained, who have expressed an interest in being considered for such accommodation should it become available or vacant; it should not be taken as indicative of actual current need for housing. Applications are received from married and single persons and the figures provided relate to the number of persons and not to the number of applications or units of accommodation required.
