Study of Fertility Leave for Public Service Officers

Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Prime Minister for an update on the study of fertility leave for public servants or, if none was conducted, for such a study to be undertaken.
The Prime Minister's representative responded that introducing fertility leave as a separate provision is not necessary at this time.
Public officers undergoing fertility-related procedures can already use existing leave types, such as outpatient sick leave or hospitalisation leave.
Officers can also request flexible work arrangements like flexi-time or hybrid work to attend or recover from treatments.
This means the government currently relies on current leave policies and flexibility rather than creating a new fertility leave category.
