To date, over 3.64 million Public Services Cards (PSCs) have issued. Over 2.983 million people are now SAFE registered.

As the PSCs are valid for seven years, the majority of the people who are now SAFE-registered and who are still alive have a valid card.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
