Ms Fiona O'Riordan:

I might say something about carers. We ask about people caring. We have a labour force survey, which we conduct every quarter, that has questions that lend themselves to carers. However, the standard classification is not clear enough. From what the Deputy is saying, it is probably not as precise as she would like it to be. Perhaps we need to consider having a standard classification. We ask people whether they work for payment, profit etc. In that instance, carers may say that they do not because what they do is not for payment or profit. However, we ask the caring question in many of our household surveys.
