The French parliament has voted in favour of a new bill which will give the
partner or relative of a dying person an allowance to care for them. It's a
sensitive issue which is aimed at making it easier for both terminally ill
people and their carers.
The new bill means that the relative or carer will be entitled to an allowance of 49 euros a day which will be payable for 21 days to compensate them for time taken off work. The payments can also be divided among several relatives or carers.
The government has said that it calculates that the new bill will help around twenty thousand people each year at a cost of approximately 20 million euros.
