How to create Start Date and End Date columns from one Date Column in a new tabel

need to make the start date and end date columns from the date column, in a new tabel. I have a table of employees and the dates on which they are absent because of sickness but I need to reduce the table so that there is no separate row for each date if that date is part of a absent period that lasts more than one day.  furthermore i need it to also make a column where is sums up the hours they were absent in that period.

Example Input: 

Name    Date        Type of absence   Hours
Ivana   15/06/2023  Sick              8
Ivana   16/06/2023  Sick              8
Ivana   17/06/2023  Sick              4
Ivana   18/06/2023  Sick              8
Ivana   19/06/2023  Sick              8
Ivana 20/06/2023 Sick 8 Ivana 05/01/2023 Sick - Doctor 2 Ivana 20/05/2023 Sick 8 Ivana 21/05/2023   Sick 5

 Expected Output:

Name    Start Date  EndDate     Hours
Ivana   15/06/2023  20/06/2023   36
Ivana   05/01/2023  05/01/2023   2
Ivana   20/05/2023  21/05/2023   13

To be more specifik, i want the weekend included in the period. Lets say:

Name    Date        Type of absence   Hours
Ivana   15/06/2023  Sick              8
Ivana   16/06/2023  Sick              8
Ivana   19/06/2023  Sick              8
Ivana 20/06/2023 Sick 8

I want to see this

 

Name    Start Date  EndDate     Hours
Ivana   15/06/2023  20/06/2023   32
