HC Deb 09 January 2003 vol 397 cc355-6W
Mrs. Iris Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland which health trusts in Northern Ireland permit children to be looked after by childminders who are related to them; and how many examples there are in each trust. [88060]

Mr. Browne

Health and social services trusts do not collect the information requested as a matter of routine enquiry. The information therefore would not be readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
