The persons listed are living in 31 homes in all parts of
the country. These homes cater for people requiring specialised
care or a particular sectarian environment together with those who
provide general care and attention exclusive of any admission
requirements. It is anticipated that the use of this type of home
will continue until the Ten-Year Plan for borough welfare services
is nearly complete and probably even afterwards.
