Okay. The school meals programme is obviously an important initiative for basic nutrition and offers a saving for parents if there are children who are going without. What is the prevalence of uptake? I hear that some schools have said they do not need the hot school meals programme. I am concerned that the focus is not on ensuring that every child who needs a hot school meal is receiving one. Perhaps hot meals are required throughout the day. Has Safefood considered a review of the scheme and its operation?
