We have been in discussions with the Senior Development Manager around the need for specialist accommodation for those with Mental Health support requirements, as well as Guardianship. He admitted the need is current, and they have struggled to find a solution. They have been talking with a number of housing options but admitted that ours represented the best solution he has heard so far.

We have put forward the first part of our proposal which will be presented to the NHS board as part of a wider accommodation strategy. The ultimate aim here is to long term lease directly to the NHS. Numbers discussed so far have been a need for 37 individuals specifically.
