As the Minister knows, the media widely reported two deaths this month of individuals who were accessing homelessness services and had a history of sleeping rough. We do not know the full details of the deaths and it would be wrong for any of us in the House to try to politicise it. Is this a matter of concern? Does the Minister feel there might be gaps in our emergency response to rough sleeping that could be looked at, with additional provision in trying to reduce the possibility of further deaths?
