But so long as there is "an in" for the private sector and the LA's use the now dispersed funds "very wisely" - "great idea" ..Food vouchers to provide emergency help but prevent spending on alcohol
Campaigners raise alarm as English councils replace cash loans with payment cards for people facing short-term financial crises
The cost of administering each of the 150-plus new welfare assistance schemes is typically equivalent to around 20% of the value of the entire local fund. Several authorities, including the Welsh government, have outsourced the running of the voucher schemes to private contractors.Yeah, it all stands up "We have no choice but to move to vouchers because the amount the government is providing local authorities to run the replacement local schemes is less in total than that previously provided under the centrally funded Social Fund, and because it is complex running and monitoring a voucher/payment card scheme, we had no choice but to create some complicated and expensive authority run scheme or outsource the running of it, with both immediately further reducing the already reduced amount available by a further up to one fifth" ...

Hello Mark,
As you say the idiocy and lies become unbearable.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Strangely chilling post - we know this is how things are done.
@the Stigler,
I think it would get round the bureaucracy to just issue alcohol
vouchers to all the population.There is the pettygogging issue of need, so best to give everybody 6 pints worth a day so it would even out with those determined to abuse the system by swapping them for bog rolls and nappies being balanced by those who play straight. What this country needs is Vision!If necessary Double Vision!
Is there no competence? Law of averages says there must be some somewhere. Are they being shut out?
Isn't this what is called "nudge"?
DBC R yep 'we' will always out-game the bastards.
