Part of that spending will be on regional recruitment hubs. The noble Lord, Lord Young, and others were right to say that the process of recruitment, and even the understanding of what it might mean to be a foster carer and what the opportunities are, is part of the reason why we do not find sufficient people showing an interest, and do not convert sufficient people who have shown an interest into foster carers. So, access to regional recruitment hubs is an important part of what the additional investment will be spent on.
