Bernard J. Durkan
Question:44 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the steps she can or will take to eliminate backlogs resulting in long delays in the issue of the various payments for which she is responsible with particular reference to what seems like interminable delays and circuitous repetitive procedures involving duplicative and time-consuming processes; if she will examine the cause or causes for contradictory and unsustainable opinion and its effects on applicants for carer’s allowance, domiciliary care allowance, disability allowance, invalidity pension, rent support, mortgage interest relief and or similar payments; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
