Question

To ask the Scottish Government what its response it to the Scottish Housing Regulator document, Report on statutory intervention at Wellhouse Housing Association, in which the regulator detailed the "fundamental failings" that led to its intervention.


Answer

The Regulator operates independently of the Scottish Government to safeguard and promote the interests of tenants.

The Government was not involved in the statutory intervention, but welcomes the steps that the Regulator took to protect the interests of tenants at Wellhouse. The great majority of social landlords provide a high quality service for their tenants, but this report undoubtedly provides sobering lessons for the sector.
