- 1. Maternity payment figures May 1997 to March 1998 may contain very minor inaccuracies because of computer programming parameters.
- 2. Figures from April 1998 to September 2000 represent the number of initial awards plus the number awarded on appeal, reduced by the number of payments returned to the Department.
- 3. Maternity payments and Sure Start maternity grants must actually be claimed in order for an award to be made, therefore details of those who might have been eligible but did not claim are not available.
