北市府日前推出「第二胎托育免費」政策,市議會民政委員會今審議議員許淑華提案,建議將第二胎也納入優先入托對象,呼籲應該增加量能才處理補助,需要有完整配套,讓家長不用分兩個地方送小孩。社會局表示,現在正推動「校校有公托」擴充量能,讓家長選擇更彈性。

許淑華說,現在市府給第二胎公托托育補助全部免費,可是會因量能不夠進不去,立意良善但沒有配套,看得到用不到。故提案建請市府檢討並調整公托收托機制,將第二胎納為優先入托對象。

許淑華批,政策「滿可笑的」,市府提出第二胎免費補助,但大部分人要的是公托,應在量能增加完才處理補助。她指出,若第一胎已抽中公托,第二胎卻僅能去私托,家長在接送孩子就要東奔西跑。

議員洪婉臻表示,蔣市府政策多用砸錢、撒幣方式解決,沒有確切看到家長的需求與問題。她提到,公托是家長必須接送的年齡,而小孩不在同一間托育中心,會造成家長、祖父母等照顧者的不便。呼籲市府制定公托規劃時程表。

議員秦慧珠也說,公托應該要儘速增加量能,要有完整規劃。也問現在公托是否有辦法滿足議員提案?請精算後回覆。

社會局長姚淑文回應,現行制度優先收托弱勢、三胎、員工及行政區子女,如要實行議員提案,量能將會不足因應,故先以第二胎免費執行,增加量能才能優先納入。

秘書長王玉芬補充,今年將推動校校有公托,預計增加16家公托、600餘名額,明年九月比較有可能實行議員提案,時間點可以評估研議,也強調一定是朝這個方向努力。

社會局會後說,台北市目前公托加上準公托供給達9720人,佔托育供給量八成,今年7月起加碼「友善托育補助」,不論選擇公托或準公共托育,第二胎以上都零負擔,福利看得到,也吃得到;同時推動「校校有公托」,持續擴充量能,讓家長選擇更加彈性。
