I propose to take Questions Nos. 626, 627, 653 and 656 together.
As the Deputy will be aware I have now published the White Paper on ending the 'Direct Provision' system of accommodation and support services. The White Paper sets out a new Government policy to establish a new International Protection Support Service.
The transition to the new system will be led by my Department and progress will be monitored by a Programme Board whose membership will include Government Departments, Agencies, Local Authorities, NGOs and former International Protection applicants. I will shortly begin the process of establishing the Programme Board and will announce the Board once the members have been appointed.
I am also establishing the expert Transition Team who will be tasked with developing a detailed Implementation Plan which will set out the process and timelines for establishing the new model.
