There is a great deal of validity in what the Deputy says. There are people who are unaware of the existence of the protocol to which I refer. Communicating to them can be a challenge. Some of the work done by some of the charity organisations in this regard is very significant. These organisations include the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and State organisations like the money advice and budgeting service. I would like to take this and every opportunity to advise people to enter into a payment plan with the supplying company or install a pay-as-you-go meter to avoid circumstances where there is disconnection, even for 24 hours.
