It was to consider outsourcing the inspections element in applications for 2 kinds of Housing Adaptation Grant, to speed up approval.
Both schemes are designed to help people to modify their homes in accordance with their needs.
KCC says inspections on private homes are arranged by the householder
It acknowledges that works under the grant were curtailed due to COVID-19, but are now being progressed.
