It was 248 last year. In terms of improving accommodation, there was a Government White Paper on this and talk of ending direct provision. From an official point of view, in terms of the Department trying to move towards that system, obviously the Ukrainian situation has happened and it has been a crisis. A war is a crisis and we are trying to deal with an emergency situation now, which has created huge pressures. Is there work ongoing at an official level in the Department in terms of moving away from direct provision?
