Over a million queries were dealt with by Citizens Information Centres last year - almost half of which were about social welfare.
Housing queries were up by more than a quarter – with an average of 260 a day.
One in six adults, that’s over 600 thousand people, contacted citizens information services last year, most of them in person.
