Certainly, I am very aware of the concern in the sector now about how that protected money can be used by them. Now it’s up to Government to show that it is listening to that sector in giving them the flexibility to spend the money as they wish.

I will conclude. Enough really is enough. Let’s not let the human tragedy of rough-sleeping happen simply because different layers of government can’t work together. It can’t be right to simply let the taxpayer pick up the costs of homelessness simply because those costs are spread across the public sector. The principle of Housing First offers a way forward, I think. We're reminded time and time again that in these austere times, our spending options are limited. Well, in times this tough, we can’t afford not to take action on homelessness, precisely because homelessness itself costs too much.
