Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the average turnaround time from a Housing Executive tenant vacating a property to the new tenant moving in, in each of the last five years, broken down by constituency.


Answer:
This issue is an operational matter for the Housing Executive.
I have sought the requested information from the Chief Executive, who has advised me as follows:
“The table below shows the figures for the average number of days for relets, for the last five financial years, broken down by area office. It should be noted that the Housing Executive do not report these figures by Parliamentary Constituency.
