If it is possible within the cost and time limit, please could you provide some detail on the Telecare handling issues identified by the brigade in each fatal fire.

2a) For each of those fatalities (as a result of accidental dwelling fires), please could you state how many were people in receipt of some form of domiciliary care? Again, if it is possible within the costs and time limit please could you provide a further breakdown as to whether that domiciliary care was through a regulated provider or by informal means e.g. a family member, neighbour, friend.
