To emergencies, “the situation is more serious than last summer“in France, said Tuesday Marc Noizet, president of Samu-Emergencies of France, stressing that all the departments are affected but also tourist areas in high season.
“The situation is more serious than last summer because it now affects all departments of France, large services and small services. Last summer, we had red zones“, declared on Europe 1 the one who is also head of the emergency service of the hospital group of the region of Mulhouse and South-Alsace.
“Extremely touristic areas are today in very, very precarious conditions”
For Marc Noizet, “the novelty is that extremely touristic areas (…) are today in very, very precarious“, citing Les Sables-d’Olonne (Vendée) or Arcachon (Gironde) “where they were forced to set up a structure in the parking lot in front of the hospital where doctors do minor traumatology to alleviate emergencies“or even Saint-Tropez (Côte d’Azur) “which almost closed its emergency service”.
“more pernicious“, according to him, “we close Smur, the part of the hospital that travels on public roads or to your home when there is a serious incident“, “sometimes for a night or a weekend“.
“For example, around Angers, this extended weekend with the August 15 bridge, seven Smur are closed, but it affects the vital emergency“, he added.
In the emergency room, as elsewhere in the hospital, “all the reinforcements that we were able to mobilize were“, and” the regulation of the remuneration of temporary workers has done a lot of harm, even if it was a necessary evil”, affirmed the president of Samu-Urgences de France.
As for the medical regulation assistants (ARM), the first to pick up the calls to the Samu and on strike in 69 of the 100 departmental centers, “they are poorly paid, have problems with career advancement and the adequacy of their number in relation to the flow“, he explained.
“There is a real problem, the minister recognizes it, now things should move forward“, launched Marc Noizet.
Visiting the Toulouse Samu on Monday, the Minister of Health, Aurélien Rousseau, declared that “a part“claims of the striking ARMs were”legitimate“and that he mattered”work on it in the next few weeks“.
