Question:367. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of social workers in each local area looking after the needs of children in care; the reason some areas appear to have a shortage of social workers who can be allocated to look after the interests of every child in care; the number of extra social workers who would need to be employed to ensure that no child in care is without a dedicated social worker; the additional cost in a year to employ the number required; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
