Taxpayers (Danish that is) pay prostitutes to "service" the disabled.

This story via Ananova:

The Danish government is under attack for paying for its disabled citizens to have sex with prostitutes. Social-Democrat spokesperson and government critic, Kristen Brosboel, said: "We spend a large proportion of our taxes rescuing women from prostitution. But at the same time we officially encourage carers to help contact with prostitutes."

The Danish government's official name for this campaign is 'Sex, irrespective of disability' and it pays sex workers to provide sex once a month for disabled people.

According to a government spokesman, "The disabled must have the same possibilities as other people. Politicians can debate whether prostitution should be allowed in general, instead of preventing only the disabled from having access to it."

The legal guidelines advise: "It could be of great importance that the carer speaks to the prostitute together with the person in their care, to help them express their wishes."
