Pregnant women and toddlers from low income families to get free fruit and vegetables

I heard about this on the radio yesterday. Thought you might like to know about this if you are not already aware of it or discus if you know more.

People will automatically start getting them instead of their milk tokens.

i got mine today, had to stop the milkman though as vouchers are only £2.80 and weekly milk bill is £3.50. Will get more at the supermarket for £2.80.

At the bottom of the letter bit above the coupons there is a small bit that says you can get free child vitamins, Ask yr healthcare person where to get them, they mark on there what you receive.

I don't get it - why not give the milkman a voucher and 70p a week then?
You say 'you had' to give up the milkman, but you've always been able to get milk cheaper at the supermarket, you chose to pay a little extra for delivery, what difference does having a weekly voucher make? :huh:
