Cancer and re-employment of patients working in the public sector: an analysis of the juridical difficulties, policy advises and the building of a Q&A in favour of this target group.

On demand of the "Vlaamse Kankerliga" the theme concerning inability circuits in the public sector is focussed on the situation of cancer patients. More concrete the existing legislation is analyzed from the point of view of the possibilities and the difficulties to remain the cancer patient on the labour market. On one hand a policy advice will be drawn tenting to size down the actual obstacles. On the other hand the challenge is to offer the cancer patients in the public sector a kind of manual. That manual will allow them to find their way througout the labyrinth of existing rules in case of incapacity.
