Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development for an update on the sustainability of the Womens' Centre Childcare Fund.

Answer:

Since 2006, the Women’s Centres Childcare Fund has continued as an emergency funding package pending development, by OFMdFM, of a new childcare strategy, which is currently the subject of consultation. In the context of the childcare strategy I have indicated that this will be the last year of funding under WCCF.
