Question

Will the Government consider a specific fund for the relatively small number of families with children who have a terminal illness? I have several cases where there are specific requirements around enlarged doorways and an extra bedroom so that nurses and doctors can get around the bed and the child can have care at home. Will the Minister look at specific funding for certain London councils to provide that sort of special housing need?

Answer from Eddie Hughes

I think it would be easier for me to agree to meet the hon. Lady to discuss the specific details of the case that she is talking about.

Not addressed: Specific funding and commitment to address specialized housing needs

How: Meeting Instead Of Direct Answer
