I thank Ms Maughan. On behalf of the committee, I thank each and every one of our witnesses. I thank each organisation for taking the opportunity to present to the committee. Again, it is tough sometimes to hear the hard truth but I hope with all my heart there will be some action. I again thank everyone on behalf of the committee and ask them to stay safe. My note states that I hope the witnesses will be able to again join us in person, but I hope they will not have to join us in person to speak on accommodation again and that we will make the implementations we are required to. As has been said, these are basic human rights.

Our meeting is concluded. Our next meeting will be with the Ombudsman who will give a presentation on the No End in Site report, an investigation into the living conditions for children on local authority halting sites. We look forward to that.
