Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

The problem that has been pointed out to me is not that the young person would not want a visit. The problem is that local authorities cease to give priority to finding people to perform those functions once the child has left care. The important point is that the child has a right to have such a visit. We will go on to another amendment where we talk about the continuity of the same professional. Does the Minister accept that a lot of young people do not receive regular visits simply because of the pressure on resources and so on? The priority simply is not there. In my humble opinion, there is a need to strengthen the provision to make sure that young people leaving care have access to the visits that they need.
