§ Dr. Edmund Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will reintroduce the post of social work service officer with responsibility for services for the aurally handicapped.
§ Mr. RossiThere is a social work service officer with responsibility for services for the aurally handicapped at headquarters. Other social work service officers in the regions are concerned with these services at local level. I am satisfied that there is no reduction in the commitment of the social work service to hearing-impaired people.
