In respect of the budget allocations, is there increased funding for that? This is a priority and I welcome the fact that significant progress is being made. The television programme showed an unfortunate situation whereby people sometimes ended up going back to prison because there was nowhere else for them to go. That is a shame. I welcome the changes the Minister is making and would appreciate an update on the situation.
