The information requested by the Deputy is not finalised for 2011. I have provided, for his information, a table which sets out by actual scheme the cost to the State of illness benefit, invalidity pension and occupational injury benefit for the years 2007 to 2010 together with the provisional outturn for 2011 and the provision in the 2012 Revised Estimates Volume in respect of these schemes.
