2332. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the estimated full year cost of recruiting 500 new social workers and 1,000 new social workers, including aftercare workers; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33507/18]
View answerTusla has advised me that the estimated full year cost of recruiting 500 and 1,000 new professionally qualified social workers would be €33.870m and €67.740m respectively.
Also, I am informed that the estimated full year cost of recruiting 500 and 1,000 new social care leaders (previously aftercare workers) would be €34.049m and €68.098m respectively.
These costs are based on salary mid-point, PRSI (10.85% of mid-point) and overhead (25% of mid-point).
