They do not get a choice where they live and are totally reliant on the...contractors to ensure that their properties are safe for them and their families to live in. Failure to provide adequate accommodation is always unacceptable..."G4S...said: "We are pleased the report recognises that services are improving...We agree with all recommendations made and many of these have already been implemented..."Serco...said: "We accept that there remains scope for further improvement and we are committed to working with the Home Office and our partners in local government, the NHS and the voluntary sector to achieve that."
