“Given the current phase of work, an invitation for April 12 to discuss the Aubagne hospital reconstruction project does not seem appropriate.“, indicate in a press release Stéphanie Luquet, director of the public health establishment Edmond-Garcin, and Gérard Gazay, mayor LR of Aubagne and president of the Supervisory Board of the hospital, thus responding to the request of the mayor of La Destrousse, Michel Lan.
In the Pays d’Aubagne, a project for a new public health establishment was unveiled in September 2020, then the government announced in December 2021 that it would be financed by the Ségur de la santé to the tune of €92 million. Since then, the project has been under development, and has already made a round trip between the Aubagne hospital and the Regional Health Agency (ARS). But “I learned from the tape that the file (a second version, editor’s note) was going to leave for validation at the ARS, indicated Michel Lan at the beginning of the week, and we don’t even have the basic information.“This is why he decided to organize a public meeting on this subject, inviting by mail Stéphanie Luquet, Denis Robin, director of the ARS, Gérard Gazay and Mohammed Salem, president of the Establishment Medical Commission.
Two of them have therefore come to oppose him with an end of inadmissibility. “We are currently in the final stages of validation with the services of the ARS to stop a capacity in beds and places with regard to the financing plan presented, and that this phase must be validated so that tangible elements can be presented, and in the first place to the authorities of the establishment“, specify the director and the mayor. Who affirm: “Once this eligibility phase has passed, the project program, which is the concrete phase of determining the circuits, the location of the units in relation to each other… can start. At that time, in a few weeks, we will be completely in favor of coming to present the project and discuss the different scenarios.And to conclude:A consultation process with the population of the territory is also already envisaged.“
