In general, they get paid for sourcing the accommodation and providing and managing the service, in general terms. To explain how we sourced the emergency accommodation, after that initial period at the beginning of 2019, we advertised for expressions of interest.

That included hotels and hotel chains, as well as individual properties and properties sourced by individual temporary property providers, some of whom also run permanent centres. They are familiar with the needs of the system-----
