Text

Thank you, Minister, for your answer. This is invaluable work, and I entirely support it. Many people require supported living, and many come from institutional care and require reintegration into the community. I will refer to a constituency issue. What duty of care do the organisations responsible for the placement of individuals, some of whom have severe mental health problems and are bordering on being high risk, have to others who live nearby? What responsibility and duty of care has the likes of, let us say, Praxis to individuals living in close proximity to those who have those high-risk behavioural problems?
