Representation Summary:

Para 200- amalgamating older people and those with disabilities together is misleading and could lead to worse outcomes. For example households of adults with lifelong disabilities experience greater income inequality.

Para 202- age-restricted general market housing should be governed geographically to prevent concentrations in localities.

Para 203- appropriate housing does not benefit the provision of care to individuals in the housing. Concentration in certain areas can have detrimental impacts for individuals and the wider community.

Para 218- The 2016 consultation grouped “older people” and “those with disabilities”. There is a potential for bias in respondents who were considering one group when answering in relation to the other. The justification for growth in provision for older people is based on an inaccurate measure.
