<11 | 0 | 15,177 |

Caveats:
- These figures are based on ILO claiming data.
- There are data limitations in accurately capturing the number of participants funded for or using ILO. ILO funding is entered at the Home & Living (H&L) category level in PACE, so participants with ILO funding can’t be easily distinguished from participants with other types of H&L funding. Inconsistent provider claiming practices between different H&L products also impact the accuracy of figures that use ILO claiming data to estimate the number of participants using ILO.
