Social security net available to people at different stages
The benefits system on the Isle of Man 'doesn't encourage idleness'.
That's the view of one MHK who is a member of the Treasury with responsibility for the Social Security Division.
Appearing on this afternoon's Mannin Line programme (Thursday), Sarah Maltby was asked if the current system encourages people not to work.
In response, Mrs Maltby says the social security net can be made available to people at different stages in their life:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
