In his opening statement, Mr. Hourihan spoke about the lack of a review over the past decade, and the lack of data available to him. Given the 31% decrease in DTSS contracts, have there been any data collection or mapping exercises of how this impacts low-income household areas or rural areas?

Do we have a good understanding of the lack of service provision and how far people have to travel?
