A deep dive into social impact bonds (95bFM)

(2 June 2015) The 2015 budget include 28.8 million dollars for social services programmes.

We don’t yet now a whole lot about how these bonds will work but what we do know is that the idea is to give different social services sectors a profit incentive.

Wire producer Mandus Orarback takes a close look into this new scheme.

He speaks to Victoria University Associate Professor Bill Ryan, The New Zealand Initiative think tank Executive Director, Dr Oliver Hartwich, and Labours Health Spokesperson Annette King.
