The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report does not contain information in reply to its previous comments. The Committee therefore refers to its previous comments and once again addresses the following requests to the Government.

Article 4(3) of the Convention. Medical benefits. The Committee requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure the provision of medical benefits, including care during confinement, free-of-charge, and the freedom of choice of doctor and medical establishment, irrespective of income level or State contribution, for women in groups B (persons receiving the minimum wage), C and D (persons receiving income higher than the minimum wage).

Article 4(5). Social assistance benefits. The Committee requests the Government to adopt the necessary measures to ensure the provision of maternity benefits to women who fail to meet the conditions for eligibility set out in section 4 of Legislative Decree No. 44 of 1978, which specifies the requirement of six months contributions for eligibility for maternity benefits. For that purpose, the Committee invites the Government to consider the possibility of extending the coverage of the family subsidy and SUF Maternal benefits to these women, and requests the Government to provide information in this regard.

[The Government is asked to reply in full to the present comments in 2025.]
