The Minister of State should bear in mind the issues of recruiting social workers, maintaining them and giving them the supports they need to carry out their duties. I was delighted to hear him say this morning that there is a need for many more carers and that, in 2002, we had 300 new foster carers. I do not have any experience in foster care or in fostering children but it must be the most wonderful and rewarding thing to do. To somebody like me, looking in from the outside, it is clear that people who take in foster children open up their hearts and their homes to those children and share their lives with them. The children are unfortunate and vulnerable and the foster parents have a very positive impact on their young lives.
