Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Department of Health and Social Services has statutory obligations under the Child Welfare Act. They have to investigate all complaints of child abuse and neglect. During the first six months, ending October 31, 1994, the number of investigations that they had had to deal with in this half a fiscal year surpassed the total for all of 1993-94. It has almost doubled the amount of children in care or investigations that have had to be done under this act, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
