The Reception & Integration Agency does not collate statistics on the number of bedrooms in each centre but can advise that all family groups have their own sleeping quarters. All families have either en suite or dedicated bathroom facilities. Just over half of all residents have access to cooking facilities and this project continues to be rolled out in centres. A number of centres are in a position to provide separate living facilities (kitchen, bathroom and living space) for each family.
