Following the Deputy’s parliamentary Question No. 212 of 23 November 2023, I can confirm that my Department did investigate this matter raised in respect of the tutor concerned.
As of last week, I can confirm that the Department has been in contact with the tutor for further required information and it is expected that matters will be fully resolved shortly in relation to the balance of payment. While we endeavour to pay all claims in a timely manner, it is important that where there are queries arising, these are dealt with thoroughly and with a view to ensuring that all terms and conditions have been met.
