§ 57. Mr. Bakerasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the recruitment of staff for the Child Care Service of local authorities in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MillanI am not satisfied. I am well aware that local authorities find recruitment difficult because of the shortage of qualified persons. Where a local authority asks for assistance, my Child Care Inspectorate assists in any way it can.
