If the local authorities had additional staff, would they help to deliver more units? As Mr. Curran said, this is quite complicated, with the titles, people being sick and not knowing who owns the property. If the local authorities had a team working on that, would it speed it up?

My last question - I thank the Chair for his leniency - is about when people go into rehab and are taken off or suspended from the social housing list. I have seen that in some local authorities. Does that happen in the witnesses' local authorities? If a person goes into residential rehab, let us say for six months, is he or she taken off the social housing list?
