(GermanPolicy.com) – The Greens want to enforce a ‘care period plus.’ Employees who looked after relatives or confidants might in the future be allowed to take leave of absence for up to three months. SPD health expert Lauterbach said that one had to take action in the negotiations on care. In the exploratory paper of the SPD, the Greens, and the FDP, there is no mention on the area of care. “We have to deal with that now,” said Lauterbach, himself a medical doctor.
