Healthy Start scheme research published

Tuesday, 10 July 2012

Retailers find the Healthy Start scheme easy to administer and beneficial to their customers, according to new research.

Commissioned to give government a better understanding of how retailers experience Healthy Start vouchers - what works well and what doesn’t, the potential causes of voucher misuse, and how these might be addressed - the report suggests that in general both retailers and beneficiaries are strongly motivated to accept and use vouchers for the correct products and that voucher misuse is rare.
