The Comptroller and Auditor General has determined that social welfare payments are subject to review. The parents will be given three months' notice of the child's review to enable them to get the documentation together and apply for an appointment. When this time has elapsed, they will receive the forms from the Department and will have two months to complete them before getting an appointment. If they cannot get an appointment, they should tell us that and the review will be rescheduled. I give the Deputy an undertaking on that. He probably does not have any specific cases in mind because we suspended the review-----
