Re: Grub Stake.
This grant should be linked to Antenatal care. Many of the women who would spend this grant on drugs or alcohol also do not attend their appointments. There should be a system where the grant is given in stages at the attendence of clinic appointments, like the French child benefit system. That way, the woman at least gets some midwifery input/advice and the baby has regular check-ups for growth, anomalies, liquor volume and the plethora of other things which can affect the baby of an unhealthy mother.
