Total 355
Arising from the review of the housing register carried out in
1963, the Housing Management Committee decided to give special
consideration to some 300 families who have been registered for more
than ten years where some degree of hardship has occurred over a long
period. This is continuing but a number of decisions to offer accommodation
have already been made.
The Committee has also adopted a basis of assessment for elderly
applicants which is supplementary to the main points scheme and takes
greater account of the period after age 65 during which certain
important amenities have been lacking or hardship has occurred, in
order that the most necessitous cases among the elderly shall receive
consideration in order of need as and when suitable flats become
available.
MEDICAL CASES
During 1964, five cases claiming rehousing priority for
tuberculosis were investigated and reported upon. They were all added
to the list.
