Social housing targets: Proposals lack real ambition

It’s 25 years since the National Children’s Hospital was first proposed but it has not been delivered. Despite millions being spent not one child has been treated in it and it would take a very brave person to predict when one might be.

This delivery and management of a public project defies description. No matter how it is described it is unsatisfactory and an indication of a culture of institutionalised stasis. Is it possible that very malaise has infected Government plans to resolve the housing crisis?
