Government proposes end to tough sick pay system
- The government proposes changes in the law which would make it easier for people to get sick pay for longer.
- Social insurance minister Ardalan Shekarabi says the system would prioritise early rehabilitation instead of tough judgements and benefit refusals.
- The proposed changes would take effect in September 2022 if they pass a vote in Parliament.
