Senator Henry spoke about the shortage of social workers. The Minister for Health and Children is aware that the number of social workers being trained has increased. While I do not have any figures to hand, I know that the Department is very concerned about the problem, something also referred to by Senator Glynn, who has taken up the issue before. There has been an increase in numbers in training. In the Eastern Regional Health Authority area there has been an increase in the numbers allocated. Senator Henry also raised the matter of children's hospitals. There were inappropriate social placements in the past but a directive has now been issued to the Eastern Regional Health Authority to stop this, and we have received assurances from it that measures are being taken to avoid such occurrences. I agree with Senators that it is most undesirable that it should happen.
