Question 9821 — family

Summary

The Government is very sensitive to the situation of premature children and the recent report from the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (IGAS) relating to paternity leave highlighted the particularly delicate situation encountered by parents of children whose state of health requires hospital treatment in a specialized department (intensive care, resuscitation). During the examination of the financing bill for the social security for 2019, the Government proposed to remedy this situation by providing additional paternity leave during the period of hospitalization of the child in a specialized service for a duration fixed by decree. This leave will apply to all social security schemes in order to ensure strict fairness between policyholders who may fall under separate schemes. The terms of compensation for this leave will be the same than those of current paternity leave (payment of daily allowances for employees and self-employed workers, allocation of a replacement allowance for agricultural operators). This provision will contribute to the consolidation of the bond between the parent and the child, but also to the improvement of public health, to the extent that it will allow better support for the child during his hospitalization. She will also participate in providing more frequent support to the child's mother during this very trying period.
