Mr. Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many households per home help there are (a) in the Tayside health board area and (b) in Scotland.

Mr. John MacKay

Available statistics on home helps services relate to individual clients and not to households and are collected for each regional and islands council area. The number of clients per home help (whole-time equivalent) in Tayside region at 31 March 1983 was 7.78 compared with 7.26 for Scotland.
