Mr. Bernard Gloster:

On the crèche situation in relation to children services regulation, there are 4,140 providers registered with us. So far this year, we have done approximately 1,800 inspections. Last year, I believe we did a similar number of inspections, which is less than what we were doing before Covid. Obviously, many of the services were closed last year during the pandemic. There are 53 new providers this year. Perhaps they are the notifications to which the Chair has referred. According to the most up-to-date figures, 53 new providers have registered with us this year. We have also been notified of 122 closures of providers across the system. Separately, there are-school age providers, who mind children of school age and after-school and so on, and the number of them is increasing. That is the level and type of activity. I hope I have answered the Chair's question.
