I thank the minister. In respect of mental health issues, for instance, does that mean that a letter from the treating GP of the parents to say, 'There is no reasonable way that the parent or parents would be able to comply with the activity test because of a health problem or a mental health problem,' would be sufficient for the activity test requirement to be waived and the additional childcare support to be provided?
