I have always disagreed with it. I believe very firmly that if a family hub centre is going to be run it should be run by a charitable organisation because they know how to do it. The midlands Simon Community in my area has been deemed as the most cost-effective organisation in the country in the provision of homes for homeless people. That is the sort of organisation which should run family hubs. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister to the House to discuss how much this is costing and how much the State will pay. I do not agree with the decision.
