A second round allocation for 2004 will shortly be determined and notified to health boards by the task force, which, under the aegis of my Department, administers the scheme of special housing aid for the elderly. Based on the most recent returns available for the period 1 January to 30 June 2004, a total of 7,828 applications are in hand within the health boards.
