Deputy Speaker, let me thank the hon Minister for the response she gave us. Minister, how can the government pass the Children's Act when there is only 17% of social workers to implement the Act?
The government's own costing report clearly stipulates that to implement the Act properly more than 66 000 social workers are needed. We have a shortfall of 83%, Madam Minister. This does not take into consideration the number of social workers needed for other Acts, such as the Older Persons Act, that also require a large number of social workers. Thank you.
