HEALTH – strike at La Candélie: “no to closing beds”

the essential
Strike movement orchestrated by the Force Ouvrière union of the establishment on Tuesday. The 2022-2026 establishment project does not pass.

Triaged patients, shortened or postponed hospitalizations, refusal of admission or premature discharges. This is the observation drawn by the Force Ouvrière union at the La Candélie hospital center after a very short negotiation with management last week. The leaders of this trade union organization do not budge, the establishment project for the 2022-2026 sequence which must be presented and validated by the Regional Health Agency at the beginning of the spring gives pride of place to the deletions of units of care, and therefore hospital beds.

The number of admission beds “is no longer sufficient to meet demand. “At a time when we are running out of places to accommodate patients, when demand is always greater, is it wise to reduce the reception capacity again and again? asks, for example, David Prévot, union representative.

It is, adds FO, for the benefit of home hospitalization (HAD), which appears to be the alpha and omega of the next four years, as Richard Campmas explained last week. “This HAD is defended by the director” maintains Force Ouvrière “but it costs too much according to him to extend it to the whole territory. Better, in full promotion of its establishment project, the nursing workforce is decreasing. They go from six to four. “What can we call a management that wishes to continue closing beds, which will thus prevent simple access to psychiatric care for part of the population? »

Force Ouvrière has also launched a petition. By the end of last week, she had collected more than 300 signatures. For its part, the management announces an information day on this establishment project on March 10th.
