Disabled Facility Grants

EDM number 154 in 2008-09, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 08/12/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Sickness, disability and carers' benefits.

That this House notes with concern that demand for adaptations to homes covered by the disabled facilities grant scheme far outweighs the funding available for the scheme; further notes that this results in delay completing vital adaptations to the homes of the elderly and infirm to allow them comfortably to live in their homes; and calls on the Government to either increase the direct disabled facilities grant in correlation with demand or increase the general funding grant made available to local authorities to allow them to adequately process and implement applications.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
