Section 6 is excellent. It allows for the postponement of maternity leave or additional maternity leave in the event of hospitalisation of a child. There is probably nothing more harrowing for a woman, having availed of maternity leave, additional and otherwise, than to find herself unable to look after a child who may have gone into hospital towards the end of her additional maternity leave. The fact that leave can be postponed at some point when the mother receives an indication of the need to do so is good.
