It is unclear what the Honourable Member is asking for. However, unless housed, applicants who applied to the waitlist since 1 July 2022 have been on the waitlist for nine months.
It is not possible without a manual review of files to provide details of the number of applicants who have spent these specific periods on the list
If the Honourable Member has a more specific question, the Minister will endeavour to provide an answer.
