It is proposed in section 60 of the Housing Bill, 1965, to provide that it shall be the duty of each housing authority to make a scheme determining the priorities to be accorded to specific categories of persons in the letting of houses. It would be open to housing authorities, in deciding these priorities, to have regard to factors such as the housing needs of persons suffering from mental disorders.
