Minister on cuts: We have been making systems more generous for pensioners so far

Social Protection Minister Signe Riisalo (Reform) stated that the government's budget cuts aim to ensure a fairer use of public funds. For example, she justified the removal of the single pensioner benefit for care home residents by noting that the state already covers their care home costs. However, Riisalo confirmed in an interview with ERR that child benefits will not become means-tested in the coming years.
