Our focus must be the fact that we have children in hubs for longer than nine months at this stage. This is where the problem lies. It is becoming normal to say home is the hub. It was always supposed to be a transition. That is where the ask has to come from. How long can we expect a family to stay in a hub? That is having a detrimental effect on the whole well-being of families and everything else. Will Dr. Muldoon comment on hubs and child protection? That is my last question.
