Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development when NI Housing Executive kitchen, heating and window replacement schemes will be reinstated.

Answer:

The replacement of kitchens, heating and windows in Housing Executive homes has not been suspended. However due to funding restrictions the number of planned schemes has had to be scaled back. It is estimated that work will be carried out in around 6,950 homes this year, but it may become possible to start other schemes later in the year, depending upon priorities and available funding.
