December 2014

5,300

January 2015

February 2015

Notes:

Figure rounded to the nearest 100.

The figures are made up from cases proactively selected for case closure, and those where an application has been made to the 2012 scheme and a case exists on the 93/03 scheme which is then reactively closed down.
