National Insurance to extend cover to dependents
The Federal Cabinet moved to pass a second bill before Christmas to extend the national insurance scheme on a voluntary basis to dependents of insured persons. A £200,000 two-year government contribution will ease the burden on contributors as the plan operates through approved societies alongside the compulsory scheme. The measure excludes voluntary insurance for small farmers and other self employed with limited means, with a follow up planned for next year.
