There is actually a further issue here in that one reason that funding is being shifted to statutary services is that many of the voluntary sector agencies don't actually meet women's needs. They all too frequently spend the resources given on campaigning. So councils and government agencies have to provide the actual support services themselves! In effect they pay twice for the same services. This is why many are losing patience and stopping funding or insisting on service provision through tighter contracts.
