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:
Government consultations need 'more objective and neutral' approach
