Text

Thank you, Minister, for your answer. The question related to the number before the pandemic, not during the pandemic. Can the Minister outline what measures her Department and her Executive colleagues are adopting and implementing to tackle the reasons for offending, including challenges faced around housing, addiction, poverty, trauma and employability?
