Mr. John Hennessy:

We will see if we can answer the question precisely. I wish to make two other points. In the course of reviews some medical cards are withdrawn. We all know that some people migrate to ordinary medical cards and that others migrate to other support schemes such as the long-term illness scheme. That is a factor that is taken into account by those who assess medical hardship. In the past month we have introduced a further safety net measure for people who have held discretionary medical cards in the past to make sure we know the up-to-date medical circumstances before final decisions are taken. On the central point the Vice Chairman has made, we endeavour at all times to support the people who need help the most. That is the way it works.
