    Free money for expectant mothers

    All expectant mothers, regardless of wealth or age eligble for £190 to stay healthy during pregnancy:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7984202.stm

    Hmm.. sounds like a reasonable idea, but the trouble with giving cash is obviously there's nothing to stop it all going on B&H, and also not likely to drive teenage pregnancy figures down either....

    Meanwhile, the new payment for pregnant women - called the Health in Pregnancy Grant - is intended to help expectant mothers stay healthy in the run up to the birth and help meet some of the extra costs.

    All mothers-to-be can ask for a claim form from their midwife at their first antenatal appointment after the 25th week of pregnancy.

    The grant is payable to all women irrespective of their income. It is not taxable and will not affect other benefits such as tax credits, Income Support or Jobseekers Allowance.

          I don't see how having 190 quid extra for alcohol and hard drugs will improve health.
