I thank both of our witnesses for contributing today. It has been beneficial to committee to hear their views. We will consider them when we are making our final report. I know they are limited in what they can and cannot do, but I would ask them to highlight the concerns the committee members have raised ahead of summer of 2023. We get the figures and we have a fair idea already that there are significant numbers of children who do not have that provision and who are regressing because of that. We ask the Teaching Council to take those concerns on board and bring them to the teachers’ supply group and to any discussions it may have with the Department of Education.
