When one looks at how this is structured and divvy it out that is what the figure boils down to and we have looked at it extensively. The figure may vary from county to county but certainly that is per employee how it has been worked out and I will explain. Approximately there is a caseload currently of 150 with nine guidance officers and their workload currently is 1,350 and under the new scheme they have worked it out to be 438. Yes, it would be different for each county.
