Generally agree, although some comments on individual allocations. Agree with SA methodology which explains how the distribution strategy has been formulated. Gravely concerned that the additional provision for the HMA shortfall is only 2000. No acceptable explanation has been offered as to why option C - provision of local need plus 4000 wider HMA option was discounted. Unconvinced that 4000 is high enough to adequately address the high unmet need from the wider HMA.
Whilst the methodology for the SA appears to be reasonable, the scoring system is complicated and it is considered that some non-allocated sites score better.
