HC Deb 14 November 1961 vol 649 c45W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health if he will give the number of psychiatric social workers employed full-time in 1951, in 1959, and in the last year for which figures are available.

Miss Pitt

The figures for the Hospital Service in England and Wales on 31st December were:

1951 240
1959 372
1960 402

I regret that the corresponding figures for local authorities are not available.
