A dying woman waiting for a kidney transplant to save her life has developed breathing problems from living in a mouldy state house.

Danielle Koveskali, 21, who has renal failure and needs dialysis treatment to keep her alive, is still living in her Titahi Bay house after more than a year, despite several letters to Housing New Zealand from her doctors supporting a move.

In another Porirua case, the agency has apologised for a nine-month delay installing insulation in a Cannons Creek house, but says it is on target to insulate nearly two-thirds of its housing stock by 2013.
