Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Medical Care and Sickness Benefits Convention, 1969 (No. 130) - Norway (Ratification: 1972)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report, particularly as regards Part II (Medical Care), Articles 13(c) and 17, of the Convention.

Part III (Sickness Benefit), Article 18, in relation to Articles 7(b) and 26. The Committee notes from the information supplied by the Government in its report that, following an amendment dated 21 December 1990, the cash benefit in the event of sickness can be provided for a period of up to 12 weeks if the insured person is totally incapable of work in the job that he or she held at the time of falling ill, but is capable of performing other types of remunerated work (section 3-2 No. 1, subparagraph 1 of the National Insurance Act). The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the effect given in practice to this provision, with an indication of the cases in which it can be applied.
