I propose to take Questions Nos. 113 to 115, inclusive, together.

Statistics on customers in receipt of domiciliary care allowance are not collated on a county basis. As a result the information requested in relation to customers resident in county Louth is not available. The total number of scheduled reviews undertaken in 2011 and 2012 (to date), based on recommendations from medical advisors, are set out in the following table. No further reviews will take place pending the outcome of the policy review of DCA.
