WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN, COMITÉ DES CONNÉTABLES BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 6th JUNE 2006

Question

Would the Chairman inform members what total additional sums, if any, have been paid by the Parishes to welfare claimants to top –up' percentage awards made by the LTIA system over the financial year 2005/06?

Answer

The information requested can only be extracted manually by reference to individual files for welfare claimants. It is not possible in the limited time available to give the figure for the full financial year 2005/06. I am advised that in April 2006 a total of £29,954.04 was paid to persons receiving LTIA across all parishes.

I will endeavour to provide the information for the full financial year in due course, if it is still required, but at present all resources are concentrated on finalising the annual accounts so that the Island-wide rate for 2006 may be set.
