Answer
Whilst I have not made any commitment to a comprehensive independent review of the legal duties owed to individuals experiencing homelessness, there may be opportunity to change the underpinning legislation to better support our policy aims.
My officials continue to engage with the Housing Executive and stakeholders in this regard.
