I want to ask a question if Deputy Mitchell does not mind. When we have an outbreak of chicken pox or measles in a creche we notify the parents. We are obliged to put a notice on the front door that there is an outbreak of X or Y. When a creche does not hit regulation, why can the same notice not be put up saying the creche does not meet the standards on X, Y or Z? We are supposed to know about the red flags. We do not need legislation for that, we just need a communication piece. That can happen. I apologise for coming across Deputy Mitchell.
