Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the White Paper entitled People at the Heart of Care, published in December 2021, what his Department's timescales are for beginning the consultation on increasing the Disabled Facilities Grant cap.

As with all aspects of the Disabled Facilities Grant, the Government will continue to keep the upper limit under review. Local areas also already have discretion to increase the cap on the grant on a case-by-case basis or in line with a locally published housing assistance policy.
