A motion will be put forward in Tynwald next Tuesday that will aim to make it financially viable for people to cease employment to look after an elderly relative, full time.
Douglas South MHK, Kate Beecroft will ask the Minister for Social Care to consider different ways to maximise the benefit of money spent on the care of elderly and vulnerable people.
The Liberal Vannin member is looking for the creation of an allowance for those needing to become a full time carer.
Social Care Minister Chris Robertshaw will have until the May sitting of Tynwald to look into the proposal in greater depth before reporting back.
