§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what information he has as to how many social workers are employed in each of the eight counties of Wales; and what is the average number of social workers per 100,000 head of population for the latest date and for each of the last four years.
§ Mr. Grist[pursuant to his reply, 15 January 1988, c. 424]: The hon. Member will wish to note that two figures were shown incorrectly, due to typing errors. The number of whole-time equivalents for Gwent for 1982 should have read 210.6 (instead of 210.5) and the rate per 100,000 population for Wales for 1984 should have read 50.4 (instead of 0.4). The amended table is as follows:
