Social Welfare Benefits: Motion.

 

I agree with the Minister that there is a case to be made for abolishing the means test because it does not make economic sense and puts pressure on geriatric hospitals. If we got the proper supports, we could look after our elderly relatives at home. The Minister agrees with this. I hope we can support her in that regard. Perhaps then it will get through to the powers that be to bring about the necessary change.
