I move amendment No. 15:

In page 14, subsection (1)(d), line 1, after "bodies" to insert the following:

"or other bodies including community based organisations, networks, fora or other representative bodies; voluntary service providers, housing and/or homeless networks and fora; or any other body".

The amendment seeks to strengthen the consultation aspect of the service plan. Amendment No. 16 seeks to insert "or the provision of housing or homeless services" after "shelter" in the same subsection. This also seeks to strengthen the consultation process by naming these organisations.

Amendment No. 18 proposes to insert a new subsection, which states "any recognised association under section 128 of the Local Government Act 2001, and". This would ensure local residents associations are included in the consultation phase of the plan.
