In any IPAS centre I have been to, there is a mechanism in place whereby the residents can report wrongdoing or low standards and quality, such as issues in respect of food and hygiene within the centre. People do make complaints in respect of it, and they are entitled to. Similarly, if a person working there is concerned about the standards being provided, they also can provide that information. There are mechanisms available for people who are either residents in IPAS centres or employees working in IPAS centres to bring issues concerning wrongdoing or low standards to the attention of the lessor, which in fact is my Department.
