[14792/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability are funded by 80% recoupment from my Department together with a 20% contribution from the resources of the local authority. In the case of the old Disabled Persons and Essential Repairs Grants these were funded by 67% recoupment from my Department together with a 33% contribution from the resources of the local authority. The detailed administration of the schemes, including the assessment and approval of applications, are the responsibility of the appropriate local authority.
Details of the combined Exchequer/local authority expenditure allocations in 2008 together with details of the amounts recouped to local authorities by my Department under the old Disabled Persons and Essential Repairs Grants and the new Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability are set out in the following table.
