All figures, especially those for April 2019 to June 2019, are provisional and subject to revision.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Some grants are experiencing delays of between four and six weeks outside of our targets as a result of significant increases in work during March and April and some IT issues which have now been resolved.
