No. What I have said is that the hotline has made it clear and has made that information available, and that, whenever allegations are made, we check around to see whether that information is correct. In every case we have found it to be incorrect, as you know, and we have always reported that back to whoever has been on air. Quite often you get the situation where people are referring—‘people’ being constituents or the media—to long day care. They do not take into account the availability of zero to twos in family day care. We take into account all of those things when making comments about availability.
