Will the Minister consider a cross-Government initiative to see that everyone gets their entitlements in full? People are losing €250 million in unclaimed tax relief on medical expenses, €280 million in carer's support grant, €62 million in unclaimed GP cards and €140 million in unclaimed working family dividend. Many of these are our most vulnerable families. There are 85,000 children in low-income families who should be getting the working family payment. The list goes on of people who are not getting what is due to them. It needs a cross-Government initiative and I ask the Minister to agree to this.
