I thank our guests for their presentation. I have some brief questions. The Minister outlined in a reply to a parliamentary question from me in March that nine counties have no domestic violence refuge. Do the witnesses know the level of demand in any of those counties or are they familiar with such data? Will they indicate what it is like for a woman to have to travel to another county because services do not exist in her county?
