The funding allocated under this subhead has been reduced by 17.4%, which is a significant decrease. Has an assessment been done of the performance of the scheme? The barriers to women entering the workforce are well documented and any scheme that alleviates some of the impediments women face, including in respect of child care, should be supported. How will the cut affect the 600 participants in the scheme? Will it force some of them out of work?
