Another huge bill caused be feminism's devestation of the family
Children's centres 'must do more'

State-funded children's centres must do much more to help teenage parents and single mothers, a report says.

The National Audit Office (NAO) found that fewer than a third of the 200 Sure Start centres it investigated were making efforts to reach the most needy.

It also said while families valued the scheme, it was hard to measure whether the £3.2bn investment was good value.

****ing hell, £3,200,000,000! For "children's centres" primarily for single mothers?

Strange how these weren't needed before. Y'know, before feminism knackered in the family and removed fathers from many children's lives, and whelping illegitimate bastards was encouraged financially.

All this crap about how father's are not necessary, that therefore free IVF can be given to single mummy's, and underage slappers who give birth whilst at school (literally) are not in anyway judged, yet these fatherless children seem to need an outrageous amount of taxpayers money to help their poor mummy's cope.

Without fathers, these kids are more likely to wallow in poverty and spend more time with strangers.

Still, this is what the "It takes a village"-minded Socialists/Feminists want; fathers well away from children, and kiddies spending more time in school, after-school clubs, daycare camps and children's centres.

Note how they worry that this might be a waste of money, but only in that it might be a waste for those who may use this service. Why don't they ask us taxpayers whether we think it's value for money? I sure as hell don't. Even in the context of all the taxpayers money being flung around in the high-taxation, high-spending Socialist wreck of a nation this ****ry has become, £3,200,000,000 is still a shitload of money.

Children's centres 'must do more'

State-funded children's centres must do much more to help teenage parents and single mothers, a report says.

The National Audit Office (NAO) found that fewer than a third of the 200 Sure Start centres it investigated were making efforts to reach the most needy.

It also said while families valued the scheme, it was hard to measure whether the £3.2bn investment was good value.

So far, 1,000 centres have opened in England to bring education, childcare, employment and health under one roof.

The scheme was launched in 1998 and is primarily targeted at the under-fives living in deprived areas.

Long-term impact

To compile the report, auditors visited 30 centres and interviewed managers at almost 200 of them.

They found more must be done to make baby weighing, health checks and careers advice available to the families who needed most help.

These included lone and teenage parents, disabled children's parents and some ethnic minority families in areas with small minority populations.

The head of the NAO, Sir John Bourn, said: "Though it is too early to tell the long-term impact of Sure Start children's centres on children's lives, we do know that families value the services they provide.

"It is vital that the services reach the most needy members of our communities."

The chair of the Commons public accounts committee, Edward Leigh, called for better information on the cost-effectiveness of the scheme.

"There is as yet a glaring lack of information on the cost-effectiveness of the centres and the services they provide.

"With the numbers of centres increasing so quickly it is vital to know exactly what services we are getting for the taxpayers' money."

Ministers want to open a further 2,500 centres by 2010.

Children's Minister Beverley Hughes said she welcomed the NAO's positive findings and said it helped to focus on the government's own findings of what more needed to be done.

She said she had made it clear to children' centres and local authorities what they were expected to provide for children and parents.

"This included delivering services that are not only of a high quality but are accessible and responsive to the most vulnerable families," she said.

"It also included the steps they must take to manage their performance effectively and demonstrate that they are providing value for money."

It never ceases to amaze be how ****ing stupid some people are these days. It's like the government/feminists are trying to prove the inferiority of women through all these subsidies and programs. So much for the "strong women" who "can take care of themselves."

If only they would perceive it that way too.

Typical Socialist/Liberal answer to the solution. The Poor Skank Women who have children out of Wedlock. Stop subsidizing Single Mothers and see how quickly the problem solves itself.

What a bunch of Dumb Asses. Yes this is the fruits of Feminism. More Bastard Children, more out of control Teenagers. More Gang members recruited out of Single Mother homes. More future Criminals in Prison, the other fruits of Feminism can be found in Biohazard dumpsters. Aborted Children murdered by the FemHags. We have become Ancient Carthage complete with human sacrifices of our Genetic Heritage that we are flushing down the crappers.
