Tynwald asked to support 15 recommendations
The Manx Government has probably ‘failed’ families because of an ‘anti-family sentiment’ through previous administrations.
That’s the view of the chair of the Population Rebalancing Committee.
The committee will ask Tynwald to support 15 recommendations designed to tackle demographic imbalances including an ‘urgent and substantial uprating’ of Maternity Allowance.
Dr Michelle Haywood says she thinks there is an explanation for why it hasn’t been a priority:
'Pressure in the system' but bed figures are wrong says Manx Care
Work permits 'form part of longer-term plan' says Johnston
First Deemster and Clerk of Rolls appointed to senior roles
Mother's Day recognition for women who ‘shape our community’
New clerk for Arbory and Rushen Commissioners
