§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give the establishment figures as well as the actual figures of qualified health visitors for each area health authority; if he is satisfied with each establishment; if he will indicate any help or advice he is giving to overcome any shortfall; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe number of qualified health visitors—whole-time equivalents—employed by area health authorities in Wales at 30 September 1980 was:
Clwyd 72 Dyfed 74 Gwent 83 Gwynedd 47 Mid-Glamorgan 90 Powys 21 South Glamorgan 99 West Glamorgan 71 Establishment figures are not held centrally. It is for the health authorities to assess their own staffing requirements in the light of local circumstances. They are aware of the high priority I attach to the domiciliary services.
