(Quebec) Peanut butter toast, bacon, donut, and now pizza. The Legault government calls the managing directors of Ciusss and Cisss to order in the wake of the multiplication of cases of nursing staff suspended for having consumed food intended for patients.
The case of a nurse suspended for eating peanut butter toast in Longueuil first revealed by The Montreal newspaperit is far from isolated, according to the Montérégi unionAnd. The print reported Thursday morning that an assistant beneficiary had been suspended for five days during the pandemic for eating a slice of pizza that was allegedly thrown away.
Earlier this week, The Montreal newspaper reported similar cases of employees who ate a donut, bacon or drank coffee. The Minister of Health, Christian Dubé, has not hidden his irritation at the revelation of these situations, while he tries to attract staff to the network.
Mr. Dubé and his colleagues Sonia Bélanger (Minister of Health and the Elderly) and Lionel Carmant (Minister in charge of Social Services) will provide an update with all the managing directors of the health facilities. The Deputy Minister of Health, Dominique Savoie, also sent a letter to all the big bosses on Thursday. Managers are reminded that the sanction must be proportionate to the disputed fact.
On Wednesday, Christian Dubé indicated that the Ministry of Health and Social Services was conducting a “detailed research” to find out what “happened in different situations”.
“So far, what I’ve asked my colleague, the Deputy Minister for Health, is to dig deep into each of the cases before taking a stand to make sure we understand exactly what happened,” Dubé said during the question period. Wednesday.
Liberals accuse Christian Dubé of not having “control” of his network.
“Quebec expecting 15, then 20 hours, I think they see that he is not in control of his ministry. When he says [qu’au] department, there is a culture problem, […] it is as if he were separating himself from his ministry. He is the head of the department, he is responsible for it,” said interim leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, Marc Tanguay.
Solidarity deputy Vincent Marissal attacked the vision of the minister, who would like Quebecers to receive a symbolic bill for the care they receive within a few years.
“It’s to make people feel guilty, to tell them: Did your heart attack cost $42,000? What is the difference ? What is the purpose of this? “, she questioned on Thursday. He wonders if Mr. Dubé puts this idea back on the agenda “to create a diversion on the stories of pizza, toast and more”.
