Text
I thank the Minister for her positive statement and announcement today. Her proposals are great news. I really welcome the neonatal care pay. That is important, as you outlined in your statement, for parents who have had that experience of caring for wee babies in a neonatal unit. Will the Minister confirm the rate at which that will be paid?
