Vol. 503 No. 4
131 Ms Fitzgerald asked the Minister for Health and Children his views on whether it is the responsibility of crèche owners to keep a record of children's inoculations; if this is part of the regulations of the Child Care Bill; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10519/99]
Under Article 13 (1) of the Child Care (Pre-School Services) Regulations, 1996, a person carrying on a pre-school service is required to keep a register in respect of each pre-school child attending the service. Subsection (h) of the article provides that a "record of immunisations, if any, received by the pre-school child" be among the particulars entered in the register. This requirement does not apply to a person carrying on a pre-school service in a drop-in centre.
