Thank you, Minister, for your answer. While that research is welcome, it sounds like a long work in progress. Right now in Northern Ireland, parents are forced to leave employment because they cannot afford childcare. Today, we have seen Melted Parents NI share helpline information on mental health and debt to support parents. What immediate action are you taking to support childcare providers while the research is ongoing?
