I very much thank Rhianon Passmore for those remarks. I think it is just worth reminding ourselves, as a result her remarks, what the purpose of the housing support grant actually is. This is not a grant that's meant to do everything there is to do in the housing field. This is a grant that's specifically there to prevent homelessness and support people to have the capability, independence, skills and confidence to access and/or maintain a stable and suitable home.

So, this is not about the sharp end of rough-sleeping—although it can help in that area—this is much more about maintaining people in the right kind of accommodation. So, if you take the Housing First strategy, for example, it's all very well to have somebody put into the house, but they also have to have the skills to be able to get their benefits sorted out and pay their bills and get some furniture together and live in that house and feed themselves and have a social life and all those sorts of things. And many vulnerable people will need a great deal of support to be able to do that, and hopefully that support will taper off as they get more used to it, but that support might need to go on for many years. So, it's very important to make sure that we have the right grant structures in place and the right providers in place that can provide that long-term support for somebody to maintain that secure home, and not have them drop out into homelessness in a repeated fashion. So, I completely concur.

In terms of the funding, I've said a lot about the funding already, but I'll just say one last thing about it. There are other things around housing and homelessness that we're looking at, and I do remind Members that we have got the housing action group's report coming forward soon, and I'm sure Members will want to look very carefully at what the action group's proposals are, and we'll be urging the Government to consider those as well. So, in negotiations with my colleague, the Minister for finance, and anything that comes out of the budget, we will want to keep that in mind at the same time.
