Ms Sue Windle:

The same services that are there for the general population are afforded to international protection applicants. Unfortunately, people fleeing war and persecution have other ancillary layers of need that come along with this so it is probably more difficult for them. There are a number of voluntary organisations such as Spirasi which do great work. Spirasi works with victims of kidnapping and torture. There are resource and staffing issues. The waiting times are quite long.
