You met the Minister of Health on Tuesday, for what reasons?
“Because the emergency services in France are going through an unprecedented crisis, a third of them are homeless. Temporary closures follow one another. In the Grand Est, these are the services of Metz, Thionville, Forbach, Sarrebourg, Briey, Mont-Saint-Martin, Toul, Bar-le-Duc, Remiremont, Mulhouse, Colmar, Wissembourg…. Due to a lack of personnel, these services have holes in their planning, and we cannot provide all the medical on-call services. ”
What impact on patients?
“It is a general crisis in the permanence of care and unscheduled care that affects the city as well as the hospital, all specialties and all professionals. The emergency services and their teams find themselves once again between two opposing tectonic plates generating an unbearable increase in activity and mistreatment of “patient-stretchers”.
What remedies did you discuss with the minister?
“We have come up with solutions that cannot wait any longer. The immediate enhancement of the permanence of care, restructured on the real needs of the territories for doctors and paramedics. Authorize the recruitment of general practitioners, practitioners graduates from outside the European Union (PADHUE) at a decent price. Apply the emergency overhaul pact mainly in the management of downstream emergency beds, accelerate the deployment of access to care services (SAS) by giving them the means to operate, recognize the status of medical regulation assistants (ARM) and SMUR paramedics. Finally, reform the public hospital by specifying its missions. “
Did Olivier Véran give you concrete answers?
“It brings together all hospital directors, heads of emergency services and directors of regional health agencies this Thursday, November 18. “
