Ms Caroline Curley:

I would say the Deputy is mixing up the gross figure and the net figure. The gross figure is for people who are on a waiting list plus the people who are in RAS or HAP accommodation. Again, these figures can vary depending on the day. The gross figure I have is 5,863 and the net is 2,238, which is the people who are not in accommodation and who are on the waiting list. I presume that explains the difference in the Deputy’s figures.
