I thank the Deputy for the question. We did have the latest rough sleeper count. It is down on last year but is up since the spring. As we have been planning ahead, we are putting in place emergency beds to ensure 200 new permanent beds come into the system which is more than what we need based on the count. In addition to that, there are also 130 emergency places should something happen.
