Table 1 shows the predictions for a cost neutral scheme. As the scheme operates over 5 years this must be reviewed regularly, however changes should not be made unless the reviews show a sustained change in the income and expenditure.

2569 applications were received in year 1 which equates to 97.1 % of the number predicted.
