There is a bit of confusion on that because many RAS tenants whom I would deal with would go back to the local authority. RAS tenants are taken off the local authority housing list. There is a lot of confusion. With HAP, they come to the local authority also. It is important that we highlight what the witnesses have said and work with them on that because many people are not aware of this. It is something we can highlight through Citizens Information, which does great work. I am always highlighting the point the witnesses have made, but many people are not aware of their entitlements or the information. That it is something of which we need to be very aware.
