uin	109733
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2017 answer text <p>In 2010 the Department funded the Local Government Association to develop guidance on fire safety in purpose built blocks flats, which includes specific advice on ensuring the safety of disabled people and means of escape in the event of a fire. This was published in 2011 and is available at: <a href="https://www.local.gov.uk/fire-safety-purpose-built-flats" target="_blank">https://www.local.gov.uk/fire-safety-purpose-built-flats</a>.</p><p>Approved Document B (Fire Safety) provides guidance on securing reasonable standards of health and safety of persons in and about buildings. This is intended to include all people including people with disabilities. However, as set out paragraph 0.19 this also recognises that the needs of some disabled people will need to be considered on a case-by-case basis.</p><p>The Government is committed to helping older and disabled people to live independently and safely at home. The Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) is a means-tested grant which can contribute towards meeting the cost of adapting an older or disabled person’s property, including to improve access (for example, through widening doorframes). Since 2012-13 the Government has invested over £1.6 billion into the DFG, providing around 250,000 adaptations. The grant is £431 million this year, rising to £468m next year, and will be over £500 million by 2020.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 01/11/2017 16:31:10 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
