I thank the Minister for her reply. There is a debate at present on the ongoing costs of child care, as there is a debate about the cost of many things. Sustainability remains an issue for child-care providers. Many parents find the costs of child care too high and many providers are finding it difficult to meet overheads. As part of the review which is taking place, will the Minister look at the €62.50 figure and will she consider whether an alternative capitation rate should be implemented to provide a better service for users and providers?
