Last year, there was a programme of supports over the summer. Is it intended to continue that this year or to provide enhanced programmes that may deal with setbacks in development or where there have been difficulties for families? What is proposed for this summer? It is important that systems be put in place. We are anticipating the summer holidays, which will come around all too quickly. Children will have had this period during which they have not been in school, there will be a return to school and routine and then it will be the summer holidays. What proposals are there in that regard?
