To revert to the issue of Traveller health, the statistics provided by the witnesses are absolutely appalling and shocking. I refer to how only eight members of a community of 36,000 are over the age of 85, how only 3% of the population are over the age of 65 and to the rate of suicide. To what extent do the witnesses associate these statistics with the accommodation problems they face?
