“In view of the deeply degraded situation”, the health of the CGT calls for a day of action for its staff on 22 September in front of the Bagnères-de-Bigorre hospital.
Here is the press release of the CGT: “The Bagnères CGT hospital union joined the process and presented a 24-hour strike notice to allow agents facing this situation to join the movement. The local CGT union of Bagnères has meanwhile joined in this. appeal, which reveals the suffering encountered by all professionals and which for the moment and despite the announcements of the President and his Government have unfortunately not seen any improvement in their working conditions, but rather an aggravation.
In fact, in Bagnères the reporting of the slow but unbearable deterioration of our hospital is final and does not bode well for us users that we suffer the first effects with our emergencies always closed at night and a few hours too long during the day. And yes, the rule still enshrined in the constitution that you must not keep a patient more than 30 minutes away from your emergency room is no longer respected at night and for 4 hours during the day from June 2021. This is unacceptable! 40 beds closed during the summer in Bagnères, unacceptable! Difficulty getting an ambulance on weekends at night to be taken to Tarbes, unacceptable! In fact, it is not always possible to have a fire brigade ambulance on weekends and the SMUR are the paramedics of Tarbes who come for the first guided visits by telephone by a 15-year-old doctor.
Following the organization set up by the new Minister of Health and the increase in calls to 15, doctors are under stress to respond to patients and have created real discomfort.
The resignation begins there too, unacceptable!
Young nurses who are assigned to services at the end of school do not benefit from any support, are considered operational and must manage themselves as best they can. Disgusted a significant number return their blouses and resign, unacceptable! If in the past 3 nurses for 90 patients was the quota, today very often 1 nurse for 90 becomes the norm. Unacceptable! At MGEN, there is only one night nursing assistant for 60 patients. Unacceptable!
For now, faced with the unacceptable, the local CGT union invites the population of Upper Adour to participate in the demonstration organized at 10 am in front of our hospital. We defend our demands “.
