answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2019 answer text <p>It is not possible to provide information on the value of vouchers that have not been used in a geographical area. Vouchers are sent to a specific address but they can be spent in any location. We do not track where individuals choose to spend their vouchers and therefore cannot monitor unused vouchers by specific location</p><p> </p><p>Funding allocated to the Healthy Start scheme is accounted through a single cost centre together with the Nursery Milk scheme. A split by individual scheme is therefore not available. In 2017-18 funding for these schemes was £104,709,791. Audited spend data for the 2018-19 financial year is not yet available. This includes funding for the Healthy Start website which costs approximately £12,000 per year and which, together with the Start4Life website, promotes the Healthy Start scheme to the public and retailers.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 09/07/2019 13:21:42 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
