What measures it is taking to continuously improve the sheltered housing stock across Scotland.

A total of 564 sheltered housing units have been approved between 2006-07 and 2008-09, attracting an investment in Housing Association Grant of £45.414 million.
Figures for 2009-10 are not able to be supplied at present as they form part of the Official Statistics data which are not published until 27 May 2010. This is in line with the Code for Official Statistics which states that data which is published as an official statistic should not be used publicly (including in parliamentary questions) until they are published on their pre-announced date. The 2009-10 statistics for sheltered housing in this question will be placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib. number 50911), after the official statistics publication on 27 May 2010.
Local authorities will set out their approach to meeting the housing needs of older people in their local housing strategies and identify investment priorities, including those relating to sheltered housing, in their Strategic Housing Investment Plans. Local authorities and registered social landlords must also ensure sheltered housing meets the Scottish Housing Quality Standard and required Care Commission Standards.
