I have already spoken about grandparents and I support everything that has been said. The issue is crucial. However, this is not only about the financial side but about all the additional support that should be available. For example, where a grandparent is ageing a bit, if you could arrange for the child to be taken to school and back, that would open up opportunities for many more grandparents to play this role. I warmly support the amendment, just as I did the kinship care amendment—but this is even more important.
