I agree with Deputy Ruth Coppinger that social inclusion is probably the wrong heading for it and special housing needs would be more appropriate. We need to deal with the Traveller accommodation issue, as well as accommodation for those with drug addiction, etc., as Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan said. Another category is those with disabilities who are a long time on the housing list because local authorities cannot provide them with specific accommodation or do not have modified houses. That is a specific category with which we need to deal.
