Our client has been residing in supported accommodation which includes all furniture and white goods. She recently gave birth to twin daughters, who were premature, and is currently still in hospital, as they are being tube fed. Before they are able to leave the hospital, Social Services will be making a home visit to ensure our client's new property is fit for them. Mum requires a cooker to be able to cook for herself when they are discharged from hospital.
