The Deputy may be aware that the expert working group on child care, which was established by the Government under Partnership 2000 to devise a national framework for the development of the child care sector and which published its report in February last, included in its recommendations proposals for an integrated package of child care supports for parents in employment, or seeking to access employment or training opportunities.
