On the statement about the upcoming new standards for newly acquired direct provision centres, will Ms Buckley put a figure on the number of current direct provision centres which are not meeting the newly defined standards for independent living, cooking facilities and perhaps other issues? I will accept an approximate figure. Does Ms Buckley know how many centres the Department will have to close based on the new standards? How many people can expect to be relocated into the new centres? How long will they have to wait until they can relocate into what are deemed to be higher standard direct provision facilities?
