The Suize Insoumise action group interferes in the debate on hospitals in central and southern Haute-Marne. Extracts.
“(…) Since the dismantling of the public hospital is one of the cornerstones of the will to destroy public services, the question of the “reorganization” hospitals in central and southern Haute-Marne has therefore reappeared with its procession of various positions. The latest is to bring out a twenty-year-old project, namely the creation of a hospital in Rolampont. Project which provides for the long-term dismantling of the hospitals of Chaumont, Langres and Bourbonne-les-Bains.
The ongoing debate is therefore an opportunity for the Suize Insoumise Action Group (Chaumont and Vallée de la Suize) to reaffirm its attachment to local public services and public hospitals in particular, values defended during the recent presidential and legislative campaigns.
Public hospitals abused
Therefore, this will must involve the cessation of budget cuts (…), the maintenance not only of the hospitals of Chaumont, Langres and Bourbonne, but also the strengthening of their resources, the creation of networks of multidisciplinary public health centers in connection with public hospitals to fill the medical desert of central and southern Haute-Marne characterized by the shortage of general practitioners and specialists, the abolition of the fee and the return to global operating grants, the re-evaluation of the health professions, the recruitment and the training of health workers and the reintegration of carers set aside following the Covid.
Derived directly from Macron’s policy of dismantling public services, the Rolampont project, which has the consent of the deputy of the National Gathering Christophe Bentz, ignores the needs of the population. Its realization could only worsen the health situation of the ward by handing over the hospital to the leading private hospitalization groups who could thus hope to benefit from public investments to maximize their profits.
“Oppositions of bell towers”
It is therefore necessary to abandon the “bell tower contrasts” between populations of different geographical areas to reorganize and lead the fight. Whatever their place of residence, the Hauts-Marnais all have the same interest: to maintain our three local hospitals!
And it is this fight that our group will lead with all political forces, trade unions, associations and with all citizens aware of the need to defend our three local public hospitals. »
