Regulation 5 Healthy Start food and payments in lieu

Healthy Start food is the food specified in Column 1 (category of food) of Schedule 3 as qualified in Column 2 (qualification) of that Schedule.

If the Secretary of State is satisfied that there is no food outlet within a reasonable distance of the home of a beneficiary, she may, instead of benefit, pay the beneficiary an amount equal to the value represented by the voucher she would otherwise receive.
