Disabled Facilities Grant Programme: The Government's proposals to improve programme deliveryDisabled Facilities Grant Programme: The Government's proposals to improve programme delivery provides the government's proposals to improve the Disabled Facilities Grant Programme.
It uses the findings and recommendations from an independent report published by Bristol University in 2005 - "Reviewing the Disabled Facilities Grants Programme" - but does not agree with all ot that report's recommendations.
The government's paper identifies both short-term and long-term plans and asks for comments on the proposals.
The consultation is aimed at local authorities, housing associations, home improvement agencies, disabled people and voluntary organisations, manufacturers of equipment for disabled people, and the general public.
The deadline date for comments was 13 April 2007.
Disabled facilities grant - the package of changes to modernise the programme by the Department for Communities and Local Government sets out the Government's response to the consultation paper - Disabled Facilities Grant Programme: The Government's proposals to improve programme delivery, a number of which will be implemented from April 2008.
