Text

Thank you, Minister. Do you agree with the Cliff Edge Coalition and me that the fact that the spend has increased from £1·4 million in 2020-21 to £3·4 million in 2023-24 shows a significant increase in the amount of need? What is your Department doing to tackle that issue and ensure that those needs are met?
