Table 1 provides the number of items awarded under community care grants for residents in the Inverness Social Fund Budget Area in 2010-11 and 2011-12.

Notes: 1. The information provided is Management Information. Our preference is to answer all parliamentary questions using Official/National Statistics but in this case we only have Management Information available. It is not quality assured to the same extent as Official/National statistics and there are some issues with the data. For example, they do not include applications which were processed clerically and have not yet been entered on to the Social Fund Computer System. 2. Data on Community Care Grants are not held by parliamentary constituency but by Jobcentre Plus Social Fund Budget Area. The figures for the Inverness Social Fund Budget Area cover areas other than Kilmarnock and Loudoun. 3. All item figures have been rounded to the nearest 100. 4. These figures are the number of items awarded, not the number of awards. A person can receive more than one item per award.
