PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Babies: Day Care (11 March 2019)

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Education on childcare support for parents of ill or premature babies.

Asked by:
Chris Elmore (Labour)

The Department is conducting a short, focussed internal review of the provisions for parents of premature babies and sick babies and those that experience multiple births.

Preliminary work on this has now completed and my officials have identified potential areas for further work and options for taking this forward, including opportunities to work with other Government Departments.

I expect to be in a position to say more about this in due course.
