Mr. RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to reform the system for the adoption of children; and if he will make a statement. [111780]
§ Mr. HuttonThrough the Government's Quality Protects Programme we aim to develop a modern adoption system which puts the interests of the child first and provides a sensitive and efficient service. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister is reviewing with ministerial colleagues how we can build on Quality Protects, moving further and faster to secure our aim of maximising the use of adoption for all children for whom it is appropriate and minimising delay. My right hon. Friend will make further announcements on the work programme in due course.
