The taxpayer will end up footing an £850m bill for reforming the failed Child Support Agency

MPs attack Child Support Agency failings - Guardian

Extract:

"The taxpayer will end up footing an £850m bill for reforming the failed Child Support Agency before it starts to be replaced next year, a report by the Commons public accounts committee discloses today.

Despite extensive efforts to revamp the child maintenance payment system, including spending £91m on private consultants, the present computerised system still has 500 faults and £3.5bn is owed to families and children.

Figures released to MPs show that more parents and children are getting nothing under the new payment scheme than under the old one.

MPs on the committee and the Whitehall union, the Public and Commercial Services Union, both have doubts that its successor body, the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission, will work any better."

Beggars belief, doesn't it?
