Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Simon Kirby (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 24 January 2011 on behalf of the Home Office.
Family Intervention Projects
- Question
- Does the Minister agree that, in the past, there has been far too much duplication in the public services, and that a more holistic approach would not only benefit families but save money?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend is entirely right. A great deal of money is spent on chaotic families, who, up to now, have had a series of agencies trying to help them. The move to a single key worker will save an enormous amount. The original estimate was between £250,000 and £300,000, but with a specially allocated key worker and early intervention, the cost could be as low as £14,000.
