My final question concerns how people were relying on sleeping tablets because of the difficulties with accommodation, and having to live a life in a country, that is similar to prisoners in Mountjoy Prison. That is a stark reminder of the ongoing, sheer and shocking level of human rights abuses in our direct provision centres. I am slightly alarmed if our mental health services are providing a sticking plaster approach by way of sleeping tablets. What is the experience of people living in direct provision with regard to mental health services and support? Do our guests have any suggestions on how that can be improved?
