FAMILY DAY CARE

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): I have a supplementary question. I note that DECS has had a number of policies under review. I recall reading that they were—

The PRESIDENT: Order! The honourable member must ask the question.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Can the minister summarise the feedback received by providers on the updated policies and also the expected time frame for the completion of those policies still under review?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:47): Obviously, they are matters for the Minister for Early Childhood Development and the Minister for Education, and I am happy to get that information. What I believe is important as the Minister for Small Business is that, as family day carers are an important and significant number of people, we should represent them through the ministry of small business, and that we will do. However, in relation to the specific questions concerning the department—that is, the Department of Education and Children's Services—I am happy to refer them to the minister and bring back a response.
