Former DHSC Minister wants the idea explored
An all-Island insurance policy should be considered, to pay for future nursing and residential care - according to a former health and social care minister.
Kate Beecroft says an increase in income tax, or employee national insurance contributions, could be used to pay for the cover.
In Tynwald this week, the MHK will move an amendment to a report which outlines possible models for funding future elderly care.
Mrs Beecroft thinks government should explore the idea:
'Bleak future' for Manx businesses if people don't shop local
Declining amount of food production 'quite frightening'
Charity continuing to provide support to family of murdered teenager
'Significant progress' on Manxman repairs over the last week
