AIBU to want to know what the Govt should spend £57m a year on?

[Fraktal]

Midwives - 2,000 extra posts
Child benefit - 54,000 single child families
Rape crisis centres - 28 fully funded

What else should they spend money on?

What £57m is this?

FT article - estimated £57m lost by employers not declaring employees

I would give the bankers a bigger bonus lol

Big warship to point at Argentina?

All of it should go on the NHS. Mainly getting waiting lists for tests, operations and treatments down.

Not charging for the CSA from next year.

Unemployment benefit for the undeclared employees.

Many probably wouldn't have jobs if their employers were paying pensions and national insurance and it was all above board.
Of course the employees may be claiming benefits and working. Dishonesty works both ways.

It should o to the mrbojangles foundation :)

meglet any idea how many families use the CSA? More or less than 2.85million?

57m? Thats sweet fa.

If they slashed the benefits bill by 50% we could all have a hospital each.

Or if they hammered public sector pensions into something more reasonable then everyone else would have the money to pay into their own pensions.

There are far bigger money 'leaks' than 57m from dodgy employers.

Karma, need a lot more than that, make it 57bn and then invade argentina... Just to
Plop a post-it on a desk saying "you NEVER even HAD the islands - numpties"

But I like ya thinking

Can we fix the pot holes in the roads please.

Is it even possible to cut the benefits bill by 50% ?!

pensions are part of the welfare spend, 50% of it in fact-so we either tell the pensioners to hurry up and die or not support disabled people, unemployed people, benefits for families and housing benefit(only 1 in8 HB recipients are unemployed).

I would spend a good deal of it on elderly care and mental health. Both of which are terrible considering we are a civilised society.

Setting up more pupil referral units and other specialist units for children who cannot behave in mainstream school, stress teachers to breaking point and disrupt learning for the majority. Some children and young people just need smaller teacher/pupil ratios and this must be funded for the benefit of all children and young people because the negative impact on too many people is getting out of hand.

Chasing tax fraud and closing tax loopholes- would save massively more then cutting benefits.
