As a reminder, one of the objectives of RIE III is to support the purchasing power of families by increasing family allowances, by decreasing health costs through consolidating the reduction of LAMal premiums, and finally by increasing the State's financial support for day care facilities for small children. Information on all RIE III topics can be found on the intranet.
We thank you for your cooperation and remain at your entire disposal for any further questions you may have.
