Text
I recently met representatives of Barnardo's who deal with children who are leaving care and have experience of homelessness. Is the Department able to put in place any additional supports, particularly working with the Northern Trust or other health trusts, with the knowledge that those young people will be leaving care and, potentially, going into a homelessness situation?
