On the better targeting of the cost-of-living supports and their once-off nature, do those supports address the ongoing energy poverty faced by older people who are reliant on electricity? I have constituents on dialysis machines or oxygen. The use of their heating and all of that is going up and continuously high energy bills are coming into their home. They need protection from being disconnected. The bills are still accruing and the once-off payments are not really of any value to them. Is there anything that could be considered for people affected like this?
