Award volumes are rounded to the nearest 10. Average amounts are rounded to the nearest
£100.</p><p> </p><p>2. The spend figures quoted in this response are from the Access
to Work computer system (DiSC3), which we generally use for requests of detailed disaggregating
(regions, disabilities etc) of spend such as this, rather than total spend. For total
spend we normally use an accounting system which provides precise total amounts of
actual spend in a year. The accounting system cannot produce the same detailed disaggregating
of spend as the Access to Work computer system.</p>
