Prime Minister David Cameron and Communities Secretary Eric Pickles have announced plans to radically transform the lives of the country's most troubled families. Almost £450 million has been made available in a new cross-government drive to turn around the lives of 120,000 of some of the country's most troubled families by the end of this Parliament. The £450 million means the Government will offer up to 40 per cent of the cost of dealing with these families to local authorities - but on a payment-by-results basis when they and their partners achieve success with families. The new programme will also fund a national network of Troubled Family 'Trouble-Shooters' who will be appointed by local councils.
