flag UK committee calls health benefits system "unsustainable," urges reforms to encourage work.

flag A UK parliamentary committee has labeled the health benefits system as "financially unsustainable" and urged the government to urgently reform it. flag The committee found no evidence that increased health benefits were due to deteriorating health or long NHS waiting lists. flag Instead, they warn that the current system may incentivize people to stay on benefits rather than work. flag The government plans to introduce reforms in the spring aimed at making the system fairer and encouraging those who can work to do so.
