"From what I have seen, at least one quarter of local authorities are doing support plans which only state what outcome should be achieved – not which services are being employed."

One local authority is using its budget to pay for the services of a prostitute in Amsterdam, while others have said visits to lap dancing clubs are permissible under new policies which transfer funds directly to those who receive care from social services.
Holidays abroad, subscriptions for internet dating and driving lessons have all been funded by the taxpayer under a national initiative introduced by the last Government.
New homes to be part-funded by GovernmentThe £520 million scheme promised to give elderly people and those with disabilities more control over the care they received, by passing on cash so individuals could choose the services they needed, such as home help, or mobility aids.
An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph can disclose that exotic holidays, internet dating subscriptions and adventure breaks, as well as visits to sex workers and lap dancing clubs have been permitted under the system.

Uh...
I just started reading the comments to the article!
already here....i have a Vet friend that bought a new wheelchair-lift equipped van via the VA for 60k. 6 months later he sold it to a friend for 30k, and the VA bought him another. if you don’t think crap like this is happening all over it’s because you don’t know the deals going on.
now we’re talkin’!
It seems that just about everything is a scam these days..
Why should we send democrats to the disabled?.
YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE
We need some duct tape on aisle (post) number four!
:)
Dont get too excited. Dont forget, they will be Gov whores, so someone could get a Tranny that looks like M Obama .
sounds like craigslist
Finally !! A program where taxpayers ENJOY getting screwed by the government !!
(sarcasm intended)
Time to chew on some electrical wires in hope that some home electroshock therapy will make that memory go away.
We’ve had prostitution for the disabled here in America for quite some time.
Jack Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and Teddy Kennedy all had sex with
prostitutes, at the same time, in the WH swimming pool.
They were definitely disabled, they were Liberals, weren’t they?
Gomorrah had more class.

For the love of all that is good, do not follow the link to the original story. Images of the cellulite encrust prostitute are still burning my eyes...
LOLOLOL!
"From what I have seen, at least one quarter of local authorities are doing support plans which only state what outcome should be achieved – not which services are being employed."
Does the Council also pay to have the disabled person check with their doctor to make sure they are healthy enough to have sex?
Or is this another stealth death panel action?
Beats a pain pill.
Sex holiday: A local authority has even agreed to pay for a 21-year-old with moderate learning disabilities to visit a prostitute in Amsterdam
****************************************
For some reason, I have the feeling that the number of 18-80 year old men who wish to claim 'moderate learning difficulties' will increase.
"What would you little maniacs like to do now?"
I like this one:
When you add up all the direct taxes, income tax, national insurance, and VAT on your wages, and add in the indirect taxes like VAT on purchases, council tax, import duty, customs charges on top of import duty, uniform business rates paid by your employer to provide space for you to work, tax on your road and house fuel and all your suppliers fuel, air passenger duty, land fill tax, climate change levy, parking tax, speeding tax, victim surcharge tax, insurance tax, planning permission tax, stamp duty, death duty, probate fees, tax etc.You will find your total tax bill is about 80% of your earnings. Or put another way, for each pound you earn and spend, the government spends four pounds. You may wonder how the country can afford it. It can’t. Of the under 25s, 28% are NEETs despite huge sums wasted on worthless or nearly worthless education courses. This average hides the fact that many communities have 70% of their young men priced out of work and not in education. Britain the cradle of the industrial revolution, the richest country in the world reduced to a failed and bankrupt state printing money for the government to squander just like Robert Mugabe.
