Krankmeldung: SPD kritisiert Linnemanns Vorstoß zur Kürzung von Kinderkrankentagen – „Setzt falsche Logik fort“
Für dieses Jahr gilt nach einer gesetzlichen Festlegung noch eine Verlängerung der Kinderkrankentage. Gesundheitsminister Linnemann will zurück zur Vor-Corona-Regel – die SPD hält dagegen.
Bundesgesundheitsminister Carsten Linnemann's initiative to reduce the number of children's sick days has drawn criticism from the Social Democratic Party (SPD). Family policy spokesperson for the SPD, Jasmina Hostert, condemned the move, stating that it perpetuates an incorrect logic. Linnemann argued that the policy should revert to pre-Corona-era rules, reducing the annual quota from 15 to 10 days per child.
The reduction was made during the government's inquiry, where Linnemann stated his opposition to extending the current arrangement. Hostert emphasized that families require relief, not additional burdens, and that the caretakers of sick children need time and support, not cuts. The Green Party MP, Johannes Wagner, also criticized Linnemann, asserting that the 15-day rule was maintained post-pandemic due to its proven efficacy, and that returning to the older system was unjustified.
