The Continuing Care Unit (USC) is a small department of the Poitiers University Hospital, supposed to welcome patients released from resuscitation or emergencies but still too fragile to benefit from conventional hospitalization. For eight years, the employees of this unit (there are 35 for twelve patients; the hospital management plans to increase its capacity to 18 beds) have denounced the shortage of staff and the resulting suffering at work: a nurse-nursing assistant for six beds during the day, two nurses and a single nursing assistant at night. According to the National Nursing Confederation, which supports the claims of these personnel, it would take a pair for four day patients, one for six at night. Especially since it happens that patients presenting more than one failure are referred to the USC to free beds in ra.
Yesterday Monday, some striking workers, but requisitioned, took advantage of their time off to distribute leaflets one of the exits of the hospital. According to the CNI, the management has, for eight years, agreed to some ad hoc staff additions but today does not offer anything (it would be necessary to create about nine positions to meet the demand of the strikers). Little hope: a law or a decree, in the course of preparation, could impose on the hospitals a minimum number of staff in the CCUs, the image of what already exists for the services of resuscitation.

A videoconference, hosted by Franoise Ballet-Blu and Sacha Houli, enabled the presidential majority to continue their work to prepare for the 2021 departmental elections. About fifty elected officials and local activists have changed. The participants want the department to get more involved in the daily life of the inhabitants of Vienne and in these compulsory skills, in particular for the integration of job seekers and solidarity. They created six working groups, coordinated by Philippe Grgoire, which cover the public policies of the department and the challenges of the territory: support for employment, priority of priorities, solidarity with regard to all (handicap, severe age, poverty, childhood, family, carers), support for territories, the departmental ecological transition (energy mix, short circuits, support for farmers, renovation of public buildings, etc.), attractiveness (through activity, infrastructure or heritage) and citizenship through youth policies. These groups must complete the elements of the program that the presidential majority will present.
Louis Tapon, Isabelle Chedaneau, Jol Michelin, Aurore Ferrand Rousseau, David Simon, Juliette Kocher and Monique Thiollet oversee the work of these different groups. The reflection remains open to the public, who can participate.
