The National Council wants to recognize the work of people who care for sick relatives. He wants the Federal Council to launch a day for caring relatives. (theme image)

The National Council passed the motion by a vote of 105 to 77. Caregivers relieved public support services, Motionär Maillard claimed. The amount they provide for help and care at home runs into the billions.

According to Maillard, the cantons of western Switzerland came together a few years ago at the initiative of the canton of Vaud to celebrate October 30 as a day of official recognition and thanks to carers.

For reasons of equal treatment, the Bundesrat itself does not want to launch a national day for caring relatives. There are other pertinent issues and concerns, he wrote in his negative statement on the motion.

Other national days, such as Day of the Sick, were launched by support groups, the Federal Council continued. The national associations involved could now do the same with the Day of the Caring Relatives.

The motion now goes to the Council of States.
