They can range from the re-siting of electrical sockets and cupboards to the installation of level access showers or building an extension.The Review has examined the current system of approval, the use of resources, and the delivery of housing adaptations in Northern Ireland on a cross tenure basis to maximise resources, ensure best value and equality of provision across health and social care trusts and housing providers.
