In the National Recovery Plan 2011-2014, published in 2010, the Government talked about:

The development of a rebalanced and integrated child income support payment system. This would provide for a universal component to replace child benefit with one single payment rate per child. This payment will be supplemented with a further payment in the case of children of families in receipt of a social welfare payment or in low income employment.
