Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:

What we said in our statement and what our process provides for is feeding in the various factors. It may very well be that somebody who is at risk following a notice of termination is quite high on the social housing list and may be due a social housing offer, for example. That is why we feed in all of the factors as we are dealing with the individual family, rather than there being one-rule-fits-all. That is not the way social housing can work. We feed in the various factors in order that we can do the right thing and offer the most suitable accommodation to the family. I take the Deputy's point that people may be on a social housing list for a considerable time and of the understanding they are due an offer. We have to have regard to that family as well and their circumstances. There are conflicting priorities but all of our allocation schemes provide for a priority for those facing homelessness. That is a further factor which is considered.
