Makes changes to the Healthy Start Vouchers
I would like the Healthy Start Vouchers to be changed so they become inclusive to all children's needs. At the moment these vouchers are only available to be used on cows milk, fresh/frozen fruit and vegetables. Being able to use them on alternative milks would suit the needs of those with allergies
I am on universal credit so in receipt of the Healthy Start Vouchers, but these are only accepted for cows milk, fresh or frozen fruit and vegetables. My daughter needs alternative milks, these can be quite expensive for parents already on a low income. I have found myself searching supermarkets to find an own branded alternative milk which is cheaper just to be able to afford it. To have this stress and worry I think is just terrible why should my child be excluded just because of her allergies
