HC Deb 07 July 1969 vol 786 cc171-2W
13. Dr. Winstanley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is aware that many social workers in training are unable to have the experience of a student placement in a psychiatric hospital for lack of a senior psychiatric social worker to teach them; and if he will therefore take steps to increase the number of such senior workers.

Mr. Snow

Yes; and I hope that a recent revision of the Whitley Council agreement which includes changes in the grading structure will enable hospital authorities to appoint more student supervisors.
