Tusla 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).
