I thank all the witnesses for their attendance and for all the detailed information furnished to us in advance of the meeting. It is helpful to go through all the various documents concerning different aspects of the Department.

My first question is related to the lead-times for certain payments, which has raised concern. What is the average time taken to process an application for carer's allowance?
