63. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs further to Parliamentary Question No. 1665 of 6 September 2019, the way in which the national childcare scheme can address the further stigmatisation for persons requiring a referral; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43154/19]

I call Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan who will have just enough time to introduce a question.

This is a follow-on from an earlier question on the national childcare scheme and that it address further stigmatisation of particular women - the Minister knows to whom I am referring - when they seek a referral.
