PSD and CDS want to allow parents of children with cancer to take leave simultaneously
The PSD and CDS parliamentary groups are proposing an amendment to the 2027 State Budget to allow both parents of children with cancer to take leave at the same time during critical phases of the child's illness, such as following a diagnosis, treatment, or in end-of-life care. Currently, the law mandates that parents must alternate their leave. Additionally, the parties proposed measures to improve early diagnosis and treatment of gynecological cancers in 2027 and to secure public funding for shingles vaccination for priority clinical groups as defined by the DGS.
