I am pleased to hear that. I will move on because I am sure my time is limited at this stage. I refer to community childcare subvention, CCS, and community education training supports, CETS. I fully understand, appreciate and value what is being done and how it is being done. I wish we could treble it or quadruple the subvention and supports. The Department seems to be underestimating the numbers and Dr. Lynch referenced them in response to a number of questions from Deputy Cassells. It issue an issue and I am wondering about the shortfall in the registration of children in a variety of schemes. Did the Department improve this process following the audit? Is it not doing right with those estimations? Is it that the Department is not putting enough money in or is the mechanism for generating those estimations is incorrect? Is there an effect on the public purse as a result?
