Given the level of additional requirements being imposed on preschool education providers, for example, new inspections and regulations, and the reduction in the number of service users, would this not be an appropriate time to restore the previous level of capitation? Some preschool services have been put to the pin of their collar and may not survive. A rally on this issue will take place in mid-February.
