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:
Amber weather warning issued as strong winds and coastal conditions expected overnight
Hospice funding criticised by UK charity chief amid Isle of Man service cuts
Sailings cancelled as storm brings gale-force winds
Manx Mountain Marathon route diverted over safety concerns amid forecast strong winds
Rushen MHKs to meet with Southern Group Practice over appointment concerns
