Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities what action her Department is taking to implement the recommendations of the Independent Review of Discretionary Support.

Answer:

The report of the independent review of Discretionary Support has been published on my Department’s website. I hope to make an announcement soon on how I propose to improve Discretionary Support by making it more accessible and ensuring that emergency financial support is there for people when they need it most.
