I will return to the issue of childcare facilities.
Obviously, in a lot of cases, the staff of those facilities were facing a huge problem. The breakdown of the figures shows that where grandparents were looking after children, that more or less stopped once the lockdown came. In terms of the numbers affected, do the witnesses have any information about how people were able to resource alternatives, or was it the case that people were not able to locate an alternative to the arrangements they had in place?
