Concern has been raised about the services that are provided. The core issue was that funding was not sufficient to ensure that there were sufficient services, including enough social workers, support services, on-site support and so on. There were reports of family hubs having only one staff member. That was not particularly the case with the Peter McVerry Trust, but in others, especially private ones. Is the trust concerned about the standards and quality of emergency accommodation, especially family hubs, perhaps not those of the Peter McVerry Trust but in the wider system? Is it concerned that the funding is not sufficient to guarantee proper emergency accommodation that ensures the welfare of the people living there?
