It is possible under Section 83 of the Children Act for the Secretary of State to collect information on these services from local authorities. Of course, we have Ofsted reviewing the success of what is happening, so I think we have a range of ways in which we can bring together information about the delivery of early intervention services without necessarily going down the route proposed by this amendment, but I completely agree with the noble Baroness and I am sure that the Government will quite rightly be held to account for explaining how the services are developing and the impact they are having.
