My next question is for Professor Gulati, who spoke about the disproportionate number of people with intellectual disabilities in emergency homeless accommodation. I presume much of that is to do with the fact we do not have enough builds for independent supported living. Can Professor Gulati give us any insights into what other structural and bureaucratic barriers there are in that regard?
