REGISTRY Action Taken

During August 1977 Honourable Members discussed proposals

to expand the provision of social welfare services in the areas of:

(a)

Rehabilitation (XCR(77)191);

(b)

the Elderly (XCC(77)60);

(c)

Personal Social Work Among Youth (XCC(77)63); and

(d)

Social Security (XCC(77)65).

After Council had considered the memorandum on Rehabilita - tion services on 9th August, the Governor directed that no White or Green Papers should be published on any of the four areas, the Elderly, the Disabled, Youth and the expansion of Social Security, which either had been or shortly would be considered by Council, until Council had advised on the scope and phasing of the total programme. A separate memorandum, containing a proposed timetable and firm costings, should be submitted for this purpose.

This memorandum draws together the total demands on financial and manpower resources required for the proposed programmes and indicates the time-tables proposed for the implementation of each one.

Timetable for implementation of major proposals

Annex A presents the time-tables proposed for the imple- mentation of the major proposals in these four services.

Manpower implications

Annex B sets out the staffing implications of implementing these proposals. The major resource constraint is likely to be the availability of the 358 additional graduate trained social workers required to implement the four programmes during the next five years. The difficulty is illustrated by the 55 vacancies in the Assistant Social Welfare
