Ms Rachel Downes:
It is to ensure there will be a smooth transition. We make monthly projections in looking at what is left in the fund and how it is being distributed to see if there is a possibility to look at doing additional work with survivors. As part of the work, we are looking at making exceptional needs payments. A big piece is recognising that there are a number of survivors with whom we are working who will need long-term support. As I mentioned in my opening statement, at this stage there are a lot of survivors who ring us just to a chat. We are working with other groups, Alone in particular. We are looking to having a project with it and link survivors with it. Whether it is through the access services or the befriending service-----
