I propose to take Questions Nos. 694 and 695 together.

Combatting all forms of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence (DSGBV) and ensuring that victims and survivors receive the support and care they need is an absolute priority for me. Cuan, the statutory domestic, sexual and gender-based violence (DSGBV) agency is committed to providing safe and accessible accommodation and support services for victims and survivors of DSGBV.

As the Deputy's question relates to an update regarding work being carried out under the remit of Cuan, I have referred it to the Agency for direct response.
