<p>The Azure card is issued to destitute failed asylum seekers who require support
because they are temporarily unable to leave the United Kingdom and can be used at

such as the Red Cross are carefully considered but the Government is satisfied that
it is an effective way of ensuring the individuals are able to meet their essential
living needs and not left destitute.</p>
