I thank the witnesses for their contributions and the work that has been done. I have a question for Ms Santoro on that point about people not being able to get onto the housing waiting list and not being able to exit homelessness. They may be developing complex needs while they are in and out of private emergency accommodation and they could be sleeping rough. What are the barriers to getting on the housing waiting list that could be tackled and what needs to be done in that regard?
