I am sorry for cutting across but that seems to be the issue. We might as well put this on the record again. At the moment, the HSE is taking people out of buildings that are more compliant and putting them into buildings that are less compliant. That is absolutely bonkers to me. I do not know how the HSE is getting away with it. I have written to the European Court of Human Rights because I feel this is a human rights issue.
People cannot be taken from a hotel, put into a tent and told that is fine. I am angry and I do not want to take up too much time, but I see this countrywide and the most vulnerable are the people who are suffering. It is not fair. A full system check has to be done here.
