Mr. Nick Henderson:

There are now so many direct provision centres that it is difficult to give an answer representative of them all. There has been an increased pressure on people who have remain status to move on and move out. The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth has just issued a new tender to organisations to give people advice and information about how they can move out but in our experience - our housing programme has been running for the last five years - we are almost at the point where we have had to stop casework to advise people. The prospect of moving out is so low, the work is better placed on trying to change the structural issues that prevent people from moving out.
