Following a process of engagement with health sector staff representative bodies at the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court, revised arrangements in respect of Bereavement Leave for public health sector employees were agreed and introduced in 2019. I attach a copy of the circular that sets out all arrangements in this respect for the Deputy's information. Bereavement leave in respect of miscarriages is not provided for.
