Funding Cuts Hamper Frontline Social Services

The Salvation Army is concerned about recent government contract and procurement changes that have led to funding cuts for social services, including the Salvation Army's long-running gambling harm programme.

Ana Ika from the Social Policy and Parliamentary Unit explains that by consolidating contracts to national providers to save costs, government services may end up losing in the long run and risk the well-being of the vulnerable people they serve. (www.salvationarmy.org.nz)
