英国委员会称保健福利制度为“不可持续”, 敦促改革以鼓励工作。 UK committee calls health benefits system "unsustainable," urges reforms to encourage work.

英国议会的一个委员会将保健福利制度称为“财政上不可持续”,并敦促政府紧急改革该制度。 A UK parliamentary committee has labeled the health benefits system as "financially unsustainable" and urged the government to urgently reform it. 委员会没有发现任何证据表明,保健福利的增加是由于健康状况恶化或国民保健制度的等待名单过长造成的。 The committee found no evidence that increased health benefits were due to deteriorating health or long NHS waiting lists. 相反,他们警告说,目前的制度可能鼓励人们继续享受福利而不是工作。 Instead, they warn that the current system may incentivize people to stay on benefits rather than work. 政府计划在春季实行改革,目的是使该制度更加公平,并鼓励那些能够工作的人这样做。 The government plans to introduce reforms in the spring aimed at making the system fairer and encouraging those who can work to do so.
