Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. I declare an interest as I avail myself of the Northern Ireland childcare subsidy scheme and acknowledge that significant work has been undertaken in that space. Will the Minister give assurance that, when the childcare strategy comes to the House, it will come with a fully costed action plan alongside it, so that people can see the actions to be delivered?
