3 Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Prime Minister for each year in the past five years what is the take-up rate of childcare sick leave by public servants.

Mr Chan Chun Sing (for the Prime Minister): In the past five years, about half of the eligible officers in the Civil Service took up Childcare Leave that was supported by a Medical Certificate. The take-up rate for the five years from 2016 to 2020 was about 50% in each year.
