Re: public accounts committee blast workfare performance
What about the last two paragraphs of the OP's Guardian article link?
Quote:
Kirsty McHugh, chief executive of the back to work industry body, the Employment Related Services Association, said, "The public accounts committee should rightly focus on the Work Programme achieving value for money for the taxpayer, and data published by ERSA shows that the Work Programme is the most cost effective scheme relative to any comparable scheme so far.
"'These outcome statistics relate to the earliest days of the Work Programme and caution is needed before we can judge its overall effectiveness.
"However, robust data published by ERSA last November shows that the Work Programme is placing more people into work month on month and we can already see the programme having a demonstrable impact in reducing long-term unemployment as evidenced in this week's labour market statistics."
