Development have been the subject of wide debate, and comments
from various quarters, including both employers and employees have
been received. A group of employers has also proposed an alternative
scheme to cover the same risks. Whilst the Government accepts
the need for the coverage, it has not yet reached a conclusion on
what the best method of proceeding would be given the wide measure
of cover for the lower income groups already provided by the Public
Assistance and Special Needs Allowance schemes, and by statutory
occupational benefits.
Consideration of this matter will continue
separately in order not to delay publication of this White Paper.
