"The overall result of this ongoing scrutiny and review," reported Heath, "has been ad- missions into care reduced by slightly under 40 percent. Of greater significance, however, is the fact that admissions from family situations have been reduced closer to 50 percent ." "But while we might momentarily bask in the glow of some success, we are still faced with the impact of coping with the placements of the older boy and girl in care," Heath said, "While the same number of teenagers this September is in care as was last year, the percentage has risen to 45 percent and reflects on ongoing pressure on our foster care resources, and an opposite trend in terms of the overall decrease in admissions." Recent staff additions, Heath concluded, ,..,,.were, planned specifically for the area of Family Services.
