answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>Providing more homes for older people is vital to support an ageing population. Offering older people a better choice of accommodation can help them to live independently for longer and help reduce costs to social care and the health system. Our proposals, set out in the White Paper<strong> ‘</strong>Fixing our broken housing market’, underline our commitment to do more to provide the homes we need for all in our society, including for older and disabled people. In the White Paper we also recognised and committed to explore the barriers for older people moving at the right time to the right property, to build on evidence to deliver outcomes that are best for older people, including finding sustainable solutions and explore ways to stimulate the market to deliver new homes for older people.</p><p>We also published, in July 2018, the new version of the National Planning Policy Framework, which expressly requires local plans to include a detailed needs assessment for housing our older and disabled populations. We will shortly be publishing further guidance to help councils put these policies in place.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 15/05/2019 16:44:46 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

These approaches will sit alongside our commitments to continue to fund the development of supported and sheltered housing.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 15/05/2019 16:46:08 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
