They want a “real policy debate for the hospital”.
In the Sunday Newspaper, 22 elected officials from the left, like the socialist mayor of Villeurbanne Cédric Van Styvendael, call for a referendum of shared initiative to reform the hospital, already proposed by the inter-hospital collective.
“The health crisis will have shown the extraordinary commitment, the sense of the collective and the unfailing professional conscience of these women and men who keep the hospital alive. It will also have brought to light the difficult working conditions and the limits of our hospital system.“, say elected officials.
“The shared initiative referendum proposed by the inter-hospital collective should allow our country to finally have a real debate on the policy to be pursued for the hospital. The proposals it contains are a break with the choices made in recent years and it is fortunate, as the health crisis has shown its structural flaws. Apart from salary increases, the responses provided by the government following the Ségur de la santé are limited to technical adjustments, without change of perspective.“, they add.
“Our country needs a big plan for the hospital, which will have to provide funding both for the training and recruitment of the professionals of tomorrow, for the essential upgrading of careers and for real estate investments adapted to the needs of the territories. . The hospital is a common good, it belongs to all French people: room for debate and citizens’ vote!“, conclude the elected officials.
