Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. Minister, you talked about how the pressures need to be looked at collectively. However, we need to increase police numbers. Sadly, 42 females have been murdered in eight years. We have had an increase in hate crime, and we need to look at prevention and rehabilitation measures. How do you intend to prioritise those pressures with the budget that you receive?
