As this refers to a service matter, regarding patients who are receiving dialysis who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, I have sent this question to the HSE for their response.

I also note that Band 1 eligibility for social housing is determined under housing legislation and local authority allocation schemes, which are the remit of the DHLGH and local authorities.
