Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

Many Senators have said that it takes time to organise payment of carer's benefit, a matter we will look into. It is administratively time consuming. One must ensure the person being cared for is eligible. We will raise the matter with employers when discussing delivery of the scheme. People are only eligible for a short time and the scheme is quite structured.
