Ms Byrne touched on AIM and said that providers have taken those additional costs on the chin. The staff are delivering the service to the children and providing the early years education. On funding for that service, has there been any significant moves on the non-delivery of services? Multiple applications need to go into different Departments for funding and the various streams that need to be applied for. How does that balance work out and has it changed significantly? There can be core funding for the delivery of the front-of-house service but what about for the day-to-day administration to ensure that service is safe, compliant and meeting all its regulatory obligations?
