I thank the witnesses for their contribution. A gap in the number of social workers has been identified. How can this gap be closed? Has an analysis been done of the recruitment process to identify where the logjam lies or what is the reason for the failure to attract more social workers to take up vacant positions? Has sufficient funding been sanctioned for social work positions? Where are things falling down in the recruitment process?
