00:00In 2010, when Labour were in government, there were 56 children's centres throughout the
00:08whole of Derbyshire. The decision that's going to be made today will leave us with
00:12just 12. I think this is a false economy, because the paper admits that by withdrawing
00:18our early years intervention, children in two or three years' time will be falling
00:23into crisis and they will need our help. It is a false economy. At the moment, Derbyshire
00:29has record numbers of children in care, 1,070. This could lead to more children having to
00:37come into our care.
