For each of the last two calendar years, and 2024 to date, please could you confirm:
1. The total number of people who received kinship care payment from the council.
2. The total amount of money paid out to kinship carers.
3. The number of complaints received by the council relating to missed, delayed or other problems linked to kinship care payments.
4. The number of people that qualified for payments who were affected by missing, delayed or other errors associated with kinship carer support payments.
