The answer in the Wirral is a whopping £42,000 a week of public money.
Apparently the little treasure has 'complex needs', but £2m a year?
The local authority is paying £30k+ a week for several other children - cheapskates, barely enough to keep a child warm and fed.
A LibDem councillor is blaming profiteering by the private company providing the service.
But there's profiteering and extortion.
Who on earth in the treasurer's department is signing off the invoices?
It must be possible to look after the child, no matter how complex its needs, for a lot less than two mil a year.
Worth remembering next time your local authority moans it has no money.
