asked the Minister for the Environment if he proposes to widen the scope of the scheme "Housing for the Elderly" to enable persons other than old age pensioners to qualify.
Written Answers. - Housing Scheme.
408.
The purpose of this scheme is to improve the living conditions of elderly people living alone in unfit or insanitary accommodation. It is a matter for each health board to determine eligibility in individual cases. I do not intend to make any changes in the scheme as administered at present.
