38.
The number of persons seeking rehousing is considered by local housing authorities to correspond with the number of applications for rehousing currently before them. The eligibility of applicants for rehousing under the relevant statutory provisions is, as a rule, determined by the housing authorities on the basis of their medical officers' recommendations following investigations carried out by the medical officers or the health inspectors.
