More money for hospitals, following the 500 million euro extension announced in November to help them keep their heads above water. The Minister of Public Accounts, Gabriel Attal, announced this Monday morning on RTL, that he was going to propose on behalf of the government an amendment to the amending Social Security financing bill to increase the budget of hospitals in 2023.

“The President of the Republic has announced strong measures for the hospital […] You know that, in particular for night work, there were increases for health personnel […] The President of the Republic announced that we were going to extend them, ”he added.

Faced with a system “out of breath” by the government’s own admission, with overwhelmed emergencies and a crying lack of personnel, once morest the backdrop of a triple winter epidemic of Covid-19, flu and bronchiolitis, Emmanuel Macron announced in early January a reorganization of the hospital and measures to facilitate access to care. He also announced the “exit of fee-for-service” in hospitals from the next Social Security budget.
