Mr. Vincent Gleeson:

It is just to say that we keep a record of any deaths. We ask each county council to notify us of the death of any rough sleepers and we keep a record of it for ourselves. We then notify the Department within a week of the death. Even if people die in hospital and it comes to our attention that they were rough sleeping before they went in, we will notify the Department just to say that and we will keep a record ourselves.
