Question:

86 Mr. Clohessy asked the Minister for Health the number of temporary community welfare officers employed under the supplementary welfare allowance scheme by the eight regional health boards for each of the years from 1990 to 1995; and the number employed by each individual health board. [16771/95]

, Limerick East): I propose to take Questions Nos. 84, 85 and 86 together.

The proportion of the work of community welfare officers which relates to the administration of the supplementary welfare allowance scheme varies from area to area, and from time to time, and it would not be feasible to provide details of the numbers of officers involved in the administration of this service only. Details of the total numbers of community welfare officers and superintendents, both permanent and temporary, for the years 1990 to 1994, the latest date for which data is available, are shown in the attached tabular statement.
