WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 20th FEBRUARY 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 27th FEBRUARY 2023

Question

“Will the Minister update the Assembly on what progress she has made, if any, in her review of the benefits system; and, in particular, what targets, if any, she has identified for the reduction in number and type of households living below the low-income thresholds?”

Answer

The high-level review across benefit areas is underway. The outcome of the review will be a work plan in respect of individual areas to develop in more detail during 2023 and 2024. This review is not designed to set targets in respect of any particular attribute of benefit claimants or the population as a whole.
