Minister for Social Security, Ministry of Health and Social Affairs
"Our social insurance systems must ensure that the right benefit is paid to the right person. They must be robust and durable and they must put capacity for work before incapacity for work. The objective is to protect the security of people afflicted by occupational injury and sickness. At the same time everyone's desire to work must be made use of so as to put an end to exclusion."
