Ms Gráinne Loughran:

ALONE produced the enhanced community care report. I think copies of this were circulated with our annual report for 2023. The report shows that 8.8% of the people who came to us due to experiencing loneliness said they had not been out socially in over a year. That percentage remained consistent throughout the year. We have seen an increase in the number of people contacting us who really have not re-emerged.
