On the Deputy's first question regarding insurance, it is my understanding that following discussions with the providers regarding the model for potentially insuring the homes of healthcare workers, the insurance companies decided not to do that. One of the primary reasons was that the profile of the children being cared for was shifting. The profile of the children in their original and current insurance plan is the diverse groups of kids who come into the centres. The profile of these children would be that of healthcare workers and the risk, therefore, would be higher.
