I thank the Deputy for the question. We have approximately 20,000 landlords nationally who are engaging with HAP and taking HAP tenants into their accommodation. However, I recognise that in certain parts of the country HAP has not been as successful as it should have been. There is a 20% uplift which is allowed in most local authority areas. It is not being used in every case, nor does it have to be, thankfully. We are looking at certain issues around the HAP banding currently and I will come back to the House when I have a further update in that regard.
