964. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he has decided to cut funding to local authorities for the provision of housing adaption grants for persons with disabilities or other special needs; if he will provide a breakdown of the funding that has been provided to each local authority for housing adaption in 2010, 2011 and 2012; the amount that has been provided for 2013; if he has carried out any assessment on the impact these cuts will have in each of the local authorities.

I am currently reviewing the operation of the suite of Grants for Older People and People with a Disability with the objective of targeting those in most need and ensuring that the maximum numbers of households can benefit from these schemes. I intend to announce revised terms and conditions for the grant schemes later this year. Capital allocations to local authorities for next year are currently being considered in the context of the Estimates for 2014.

Information in relation to the allocations over the period 2010 to date is set out in the following table:
