With regard to our duty to oversee the financial side of things, the Minister mentioned that a number of underspends would probably be caught up on by the end of the year. Can the Minister give us an undertaking that she will keep the committee informed? We have a duty in that regard.

I am interested in subhead C5. There are not many other financial questions that we can ask under this subhead. The Minister has a particular interest in the voice of the child and in children's participation, which are mentioned in the briefing document. I ask her to elaborate on how that might be improved on. The Minister mentioned how, for example, in homelessness, the voices of children can be heard and children supported in terms of the services that are provided for them.
