A national system and the single unique identifier for children will take time, even if we agree Amendment 53, which was so eloquently introduced by the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley. Have the Government set up the proposed taskforce? If not, why not? In any event, can the Minister describe what is happening in the absence of the cross-cutting data standard in the meantime, and in other areas of social care? We need that to encourage good practice.
