I would argue that it needs to do more than change. It needs to be radically reformed because it is broken. Again, that is not a reflection on the people with whom Ms Buckley works, who are doing hard work under very difficult circumstances.

Ms Buckley referred a number of times to the Catherine Day report and the analysis that has been carried out. Can she tell me offhand whether that will examine a systemic review - in other words, looking towards moving away from the private sector towards public provision of housing for these very vulnerable people?
