In order to provide for the implementation of the legislative changes to the Child Care Act 1991, which were enacted through the Child and Family Agency Act 2013, it was necessary to carry out a root and branch re-examination of the 2006 Child Care Regulations, including a re-structuring of the Regulations in line with the latest drafting practices. This exercise has proven to be more time-consuming than originally envisaged, and my Department is continuing to work closely with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to finalise the text of the new Regulations. I hope to be in a position to publish the new Regulations shortly.
