The government is making a gesture towards caregivers, after two years of pandemic: Jean Castex has promised to double the remuneration for overtime worked in the hospital, as of Monday, December 20, 2021.

Jean Castex spoke, this Friday evening, December 17, at the end of the Health Defense Council organized the day before school holidays. The Prime Minister unveiled the measures and the recommendations issued by the government, in order to limit the spread of virus during the end of year celebrations. Among the announcements made, we discover in particular the will of the executive to transform the health pass in vaccination pass.

The government has also made a decision in favor of nursing staff, a gesture to thank them for their actions, and to calm the anger of those who have been brought to their knees by this health crisis.

« The remuneration of overtime performed at the hospital will be doubled as of next Monday “, Announced Jean Castex.

A gesture that is not purely selfless, since the government has also asked caregivers to remain mobilized during these end-of-year celebrations, to ensure that hospitals are not overwhelmed during these holidays, while the peak of the fifth wave has not yet passed.

« We asked the city professionals to mobilize to ensure the continuity of care during this period. », Indicated the Prime Minister.

« Measures will also be deployed for our emergency services, but what our caregivers expect of us is that we be careful and above all that we vaccinate ourselves. “, He added during this speech to Matignon.

the White plan is therefore not officially triggered throughout the territory, but the caregivers must remain mobilized in the face of variant Omicron, which should become the majority in France by January, according to scientists’ predictions.
