fruit and veg money

[softmusk]

is this some thing that is happening or going to happen or is it just talk

I think it's due to come into effect in Spring next year.

You can already get fruit and veg tokens (not money) if you're on certain benefits and have DCs or are pg.

Healthystart I think it's called.

Probably means tested tho isn't it Katsma? Even if you are pg!

Yes, if you're on means tested benefits.

Why, is someone talking about giving money to everyone who's pg for fruit and veg?

i htought was happening sooner than nest year
its at 29 weeks pregnant told my friend to see doctor or midwife and ask..

anyone know what the criteria and time line for this is?
thought it was going ahead now
thought it was from 29 weeks onwards
thought it was cash for f&v

Here's a link to when it was announced. here it says it's coming in in 2009.

Oh great and I thought that I could spend it all on a designer change bag. Typical .

susie thanks
beeper..the choice is yours!

and its a bit of mad system, surely showing them how to cook and vouchers for fruit and veg would have made more sense..

there is a voucher scheme that has already started that some may be entitled to
