I bid everyone a good morning and thank the Minister for attending. Yesterday, I asked her about the changes to pensions which were made in 2012. She outlined the process whereby the Department was going through the figures and the data and said that it was cumbersome. She said she hoped to have some figures this week or next week. I submitted a parliamentary question, the reply to which contained some interesting figures, including that the figure of 35,000 impacted older people, which is constantly referred to, is actually closer to 42,000.
