BEIJING, May 10 (Xinhua): "We have zero tolerance for abuse in infant care services, and anybody involved in infant abuse won't be qualified for the industry," said Yu Xuejun, deputy head of the National Health Commission Friday.
Yu made the remarks at a press briefing held by the State Council Information Office, focusing on a guideline on the care of infants under three released by the General Office of the State Council Thursday.
"It takes no administrative approval to set up infant care services at present, which doesn't mean the absence of supervision," said Yu.
Yu noted that the guideline requires local government and 17 departments of the central government to fulfill their duties in overseeing operation safety and improving related regulations.
The guideline also demands complete safety equipment and security personnel in infant care facilities to prevent accidents.
The credit information of infant care service institutions and their staff will be recorded in the national credit information system, according to the guideline, said Yu, adding that those who have bad credit records will be punished.
