Ms Joana Caldeira Fernandes da Silva:

That is something that the healthy eating group, which is managed by the Department of Health, can definitely highlight. We have colleagues from the Department of Education who sit alongside us and we can highlight those concerns in terms of the length of the break that allows a child to eat a hot meal. There is huge value in providing hot school meals in schools in areas of high deprivation. Safefood did some research in the form of a report that we published a year and a half ago called Exploring the world of food and it removes pressure from the household from both a time perspective and a budget perspective. It frees up a bit of budget for those families that already live within a very tight budget. It is very important that we acknowledge those.
