Like all the Deputies, I acknowledge the huge effort and work that was done. However, I received assurances a number of weeks ago that those payments would be made in a number of weeks. I ask, therefore, that everything be done in order for that to be done, particularly before Christmas.
What is the average wait time for PUP claims to be processed under the new level 5 restrictions? How many staff does the Department have in place processing those claims?
