Answer
The Housing Executive is trialling an accelerated process for delivering adaptation provision for exceptional, time-critical cases. This forms part of the review of NIHE-Administered Private Sector Grants led by my Department. The findings from this review will inform policy proposals which I intend to bring forward for public consultation shortly.
