National insurance at 59: Minister urges renewed sense of shared responsibility

Acting social security minister Sandra Husbands has highlighted the declining communal spirit that once supported the island's social security system, calling for a renewed sense of shared responsibility among Barbadians. She stresses that this communal ethos is crucial for the sustainability and effectiveness of national insurance as the system faces potential strains. This call for renewed community values comes at a time when the national insurance scheme is under scrutiny, underscoring the importance of collective support for the welfare of all citizens.
