Unless we can align the incentive for providers with what is best for children, and in a way that gives visibility and control back to the local authority, I fear that regional care co-operatives will not deliver on their promise. The Minister may say that this level prescription is not needed in the Bill, but if so and she agrees with these principles, can she set out how the Government plan to implement them and hold to account local authorities that do not follow this good practice?
