I thank the Minister for providing for greater clarity as to when the review is to happen and payments will be made. That is the most important aspect. This has been one of the biggest measures of inequality since it was introduced a number of years ago and it is right and proper that it be addressed now. Does the Minister have figures at this stage for the total numbers of people who have missed out? Will all them, male or female, be addressed?
