Malfunctions in cantonal schools (HEP, HEMU, Eracom), lack of places in EMS and prison, understaffing in certain sectors of the administration, outdated or misused IT tools. These are some of the main points of the 2023 report from the Management Commission of the Grand Conseil Vaudois (Coges).
In this report, “HR issues come up very regularly,” admitted Monique Ryf, president of Coges, to the press on Thursday. And to recall the crises experienced in recent months by the High School of Music (HEMU), the High School of Education (HEP) and the French-speaking School of Arts and Communication (Eracom), but also by other entities such as the group Impact, the body responsible for investigating work conflicts and harassment within the administration.
If each case is specific, the problems are “most often at management level”, noted Nathalie Jaccard, vice-president of Coges. She noted that if the Council of State had the merit of “not letting these matters rot”, it was now up to it to ensure that the situation improved.
“The Council of State’s room for maneuver nevertheless remains limited,” she added, recalling that, in the case of higher education institutions, it is a foundation council which oversees these institutions.
Coges also questioned “the adequacy of the means useful for the proper functioning of the administration”. For Ms. Ryf, if the Grand Council currently “talks a lot” regarding the number of state employees, “too high according to some deputies”, sectors remain “understaffed”. This is the case, for example, within the secretariats of educational establishments or even with professional supervision and curatorships, noted the Coges.
Prisons et EMS
Like every year, the Coges report also mentions overcrowded prisons. Monique Ryf notably highlighted the delays in work at the Tuilière women’s prison in Lonay. “An urgent response” from the Council of State is required to know the progress of this work, the current situation in terms of security and detention conditions remaining “still problematic”.
There also continues to be a shortage of places in EMS, the 2017-2021 investment program having been “underestimated”, indicated another member of Coges, Jacques-André Haury. The 2022-2027 program aims in part to fill this shortage, but still without including EMS not recognized as being of public interest. “Why deprive yourself of these private EMS?” he asked.
For Coges, the State of Vaud must also improve accessibility to certain State services. On this aspect, it was another commissioner, Arnaud Bouverat, who cited the means of electronic identification (MIE) as an example. This, useful in particular for completing a tax return, should “be better explained and promoted” to the population, he said.
Responses expected at the end of May
Other deputies who are members of Coges came to present some of the observations addressed to the Council of State. Oriane Sarrasin called for “better anticipation” of communications on the subject of PFAS (“eternal pollutants”), knowing that European standards will soon be imposed in Switzerland.
As for Céline Misiego, she addressed the question of amateur sports clubs, for which Coges would like to know what the Council of State has planned to encourage them to encourage travel by public transport.
106 pages long, the 2023 Coges report lists 24 observations (as well as several remarks), on which the Council of State will have to take a position by the end of May. These responses will then be discussed and voted on by Parliament before the end of June.
