While the National Assembly began studying the Social Security financing bill for 2025 on Monday, trade union organizations launched a warning shot yesterday, calling for mobilizations throughout France. The planned increase in spending of 2.8% would fall far short of meeting the needs of“a system that is collapsing”we deplored yesterday at the rally organized in Avignon. One drop too many, one more. “Lack of staff, bed closures, disastrous working conditions”the same complaints come up again and again in the mouths of staff representatives. With, on the other hand, the denunciation of the ever greater share given to private structures.
Restores access to care
“Many populations are today put in danger by the difficulties of the health system”, believes the former communist departmental councilor of Vaucluse, André Castelli, who worked for a long time at the Montfavet psychiatric hospital. “The Prime Minister said he wanted to make it the great national cause of 2025 but what are these announcements worth when it is in full collapse”laments one of the staff representatives of the establishment. Where teams often deplore the opening of new units without sufficient staffing to be able to operate them properly.
All are calling for massive reinvestment in hospitals, restoring access to care degraded both by the lack of caregivers and the closures of structures which cause a loss of opportunity for patients.“Life expectancy risks falling if we do not consider a credible alternative”alert the representatives of CGT retirees.
Hospital public service unions have filed notice for a national strike lasting from November 4 to December 21.
