Comment on this
While I am generally satisfied with the present arrangements for the training of social workers and with the quality of the social workers employed in the health services, I am, however, impressed by the arguments in favour of the establishment of a national registration council. I am considering, in consultation with the other Departments concerned and the professional interests, the establishment of such a body.
