'In my own case, my statutory two weeks off work were both well up by the time the kids finally got out of the hospital' ✍🏻 DavidLinden
If you ask most people what their perception of politics is, it’s almost always politicians knocking lumps out of each other at Prime Minister’s Questions like some pound shop Punch and Judy show.
For the last five years, I have been leading a campaign in Parliament to reform employment legislation, specifically with a view to ensuring that the parents of babies born premature or sick get adequate leave and pay from work whilst their child is in hospital. You see, for me this is deeply personal and a classic example of how a representative democracy can and should work well but I’ve not been doing this on my own, instead with a small group of MPs who have united, brought their lived experience together and worked to reform the law.
Indeed, in Jessica’s case, she spent the first month of her life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit . Even after that, when she was finally discharged from hospital and at home, she was on oxygen 24 hours a day for many, many months. I distinctly remember watching Jessica turning blue, various monitors and alarms buzzing away and a group of neonatal nurses rushing in to resuscitate her. The idea that I would be at work whilst this was happening was nonsense. Parents need to be with their premature or sick-born babies.
