§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many(a) children's homes and (b) inspectors of children's homes there are in (i) Wales, (ii) Scotland, (iii) England, (iv) Northern Ireland and (v) the United Kingdom as a whole; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mr. BowisThe number of children's homes in each country is shown in table(a). The total for the United Kingdom is not given because the available figures relate to different years.
The number of inspectors of children's homes is not routinely collected centrally. However, the total number of inspectors in each country in 1992–93 is shown in table (b). They do not all have specific responsibilities for the inspection of children's homes.
