APPENDIX BGROWTH IN ILLNESS SCHEMESThe Department of Social and Family Affairs (DSFA) operates variousillness-related schemes. These schemes are designed to:●●provide income support for people who, because of illness or injury,are unable to work or are suffering from a major disability or requireconstant care and attentionafford compensation to people who are deemed to have suffered a ‘lossof faculty’ as a result of injury at work or contracting a work-related disease.Some schemes are designed to cater for short-term illnesses, others forlong-term illnesses or incapacity.The number of recipients of benefits/allowances from these schemes has risenfrom 100,000 in 1992 to 206,137 in 2003.The sharp increase in 1995 was due to the transfer of approximately 38,000recipients of Disabled Person’s Maintenance allowance (DPMA) from theDepartment of Health to the DSFA, following its transfer the DPMA wasrenamed the Disability Allowance (DA).As expected, the trend in expenditure follows the trend in numbers which isgraphically depicted on the page opposite.22
