asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what Belfast subdivisions are encompassed by the Eastern Health and Social Services Board for the purposes of administration; what are the respective populations of these areas; what staff operate in each of the respective subdivisions (a) in offices and (b) on the ground; in particular, how many social workers there are engaged in each subdivision; what is the staff-population ratio in each subdivision; and, if there is any disparity, what is the reason for it.

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
