Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what estimates his Department has made of the additional housing needs of handicapped and vulnerable people through the implementation of care in the community; and if he will make a statement.

Such estimates are a matter for local determination by housing authorities, district health authorities and local authority social services departments working together and in collaboration with other interests such as housing associations and voluntary organisations, and the representatives of those needing housing.
