I was recently contacted by a woman whose husband was diagnosed with dementia and Parkinson's disease. He is just 57. His condition is deteriorating and he needs a wet room and an extra bedroom to enable him to live and be cared for in his own home. They were quoted €80,000 for these works. As the Minister of State knows, the maximum grant is only €30,000. With today's prices, that would not get one a decent shed.

The housing adaptation grant for older people and people with disabilities was last reviewed in 2014. Will the Minister of State see to it that the long-overdue review is published, and will she consider raising the adaptation grants to match the current building prices? They are way below par and have become a financial barrier to people like John, preventing him from living in his own home where he is happiest and will be loved and looked after by his family and friends.

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. Every day in Ireland, there are 30 new cases of dementia. There were 30 yesterday, there will be 30 today and there will be 30 tomorrow. We are seeing 4,000 people aged under 65 living with early-onset dementia. What we want to do is support people with dementia in being able to age in their own homes, which can be very difficult.

For every person diagnosed with dementia, three people are directly affected and another half-dozen are indirectly affected within the person's family.

I agree with the Deputy about the need for appropriate accommodation to support the person to whom he referred. I certainly will raise the case with the Minister. It is an issue that comes up time and again, especially in respect of people who do not qualify for the supports available for over-66s. If the Deputy sends me on the details, we will look into the matter for him.
