That is an excellent question. Our public health nurses do extraordinary work that is so significant early on along with staying with children and families.
That is my first comment. Second, we are already engaging with the Department of Health on this. Third, in terms of the earlier strategies we are developing, we are also going to consider a dedicated child health workforce.
