CSA latest South West figures

Regional figures released by the CSA show by the end of June 2009, 793,900 children across Great Britain were benefiting from child maintenance, with 71,800 children across the south west region.

Child Maintenance Commissioner, Stephen Geraghty, said: “These steady improvements in child maintenance are making a real difference to families across the South West.

“The changes we are making continue to create a solid foundation for the Commission’s work as we move towards a new child maintenance system, giving parents more choice than ever to suit their own circumstances.”

The CSA is now the responsibility of the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission, which is developing an entirely new maintenance scheme to replace the two CSA schemes from 2011.
