Professor Norris is right there. Local authorities are being scapegoated by the Government. They are being blamed but they are not getting the funding.

On another issue other people may want to come in on, I had my clinic in my office on Monday and I had a family in with me. They were a husband, wife and three children with one on the way. She is living with the kids in her mother's house and he is living with his brother. They cannot get on the social housing list because they are earning too much and they cannot qualify for affordable housing because it is so expensive now they cannot get it. What happens to those families?
