I wish to advise that the number of community welfare officers employed at 31/12/2008 in each region is as follows:
| Number (WTE) of Community Welfare Officers employed in the public health service | |||||
| Grade | Dublin/Mid-Leinster | Dublin/North-East | National | South | West |
| Community Welfare Officer | 41 | 327.84 | 1 | 163.30 | 161.30 |
| Community Welfare Officer, Supt. | 3 | 18.60 | 0 | 11.80 | 19.59 |
| Total | 44 | 346.44 | 1 | 175.10 | 180.89 |
As the further information requested is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
