I know I am out of time but I have a question which can be answered later as it is important to understand it. It is with regard to health and education. The lack of access has been well set out, as has lack of recognition by the health service of those in kinship arrangements, particularly in informal kinship arrangements. Has this changed much over the past 20 years? I am thinking in particular about GDPR and all of this. To what extent do the health services show a degree of flexibility and humanity towards families in these situations and allow access to the grandparent, aunt or uncle looking after the child? How has this changed. I am health spokesperson for my party and a message needs to go to the health sector on how it can better respond to and recognise families in these situations. I know this is a long-winded question.
