My question aimed to elicit further information and I certainly welcome what I have heard regarding a broad Government approach being needed to address child poverty. Poverty cannot be looked at in isolation and, on that basis, the inclusion of well-being is welcome.

One of the issues relating to well-being is education. Access to education is as important as healthcare. Will the new unit consider the issues children across the country have faced with regard to childhood disability networks and access to them and access to diagnosis and the supports that flow from those diagnoses?
