71
Section 26 provides the Welsh Assembly with a power to make regulations placing a duty on local authorities in Wales to assess whether childcare provision in their area is sufficient. The regulations may prescribe the interval between assessments and require a review of the assessment. They may define arrangements for consultation and require Welsh local authorities to have regard to guidance issued by the Welsh Assembly in respect of the assessment and review.
