Social Affairs. The Coalition recognises that no chain is stronger than its weakest link, and it is determined to adopt dynamic social policies centred on the needs of the individual and affording everyone the opportunity to enjoy a fulfilling day-to-day with the best possible quality of life. Age should not determine when workers leave the labour market. The statutes relating to public servants and other directives will be changed accordingly. The guiding principle is that a person’s capacity to work, not their age should determine when they leave the labour market. To secure current and future pensioners an age-security-fund will be set up, which will pay out all public pensions with a standard personal tax-free allowance and a further taxable supplement. This will give pensioners with no other income a significant increase in disposable income. The adjustment in pension payments to offset wage income will be changed to make sure that it actually pays to work. The Coalition will introduce a care supplement for dependent persons living at home aged between 18 and 66, while the user co-payment scheme for home care will be reviewed. The Coalition will launch an immediate joint review of the legislation governing elder care with municipalities and other relevant authorities. Professional standard requirements will be set and actual care needs shall determine staffing levels. The funding model will also be subject to review. The Coalition will review and update the welfare bill drafted to replace the Act on Social Care (Forsorgarlógin). Concerning persons aged between 18-66 the provisions in the guidelines on cooperation between care services (Markamótaskjalið) will be implemented. The Coalition will accelerate the construction of accommodation such as sheltered housing, shared housing and residential homes for people with special needs. A spokesperson for persons with special needs due to disability or illness will be appointed in cooperation with MEGD (the federation of organisations for persons with disabilities in the Faroe Islands). Substance abuse treatment services for women will be improved and better services will be made available to children and young people growing up in homes affected by mental illness and substance abuse. Municipalities will be permitted to pay a portion of the cost of childcare services directly to parents when they choose alternative childcare options or choose to mind their own children at home. This is based on the guiding principle that th...
