Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morris of Bolton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

Can the Minister comment on my question concerning whether kinship care could become a key performance indicator? Councils such as Hampshire find themselves in the perverse situation of missing out on other targets because not as many children in their area are being adopted or put in long-term foster placements. However, they are doing the very best that they can for those children and that is not being recognised. Can he look seriously at that issue?
