“I will be led in a few days, a few weeks at most, to announce in particular the sustainability of measures for the night (…), for the additional remuneration of the constraints imposed on the personnel who have to work at night”said Mr. Rousseau.
“It is increasingly difficult to recruit people who accept this extremely strong constraint”he justified.
“François Braun (his predecessor, editor’s note) had launched a major project, I will announce the sustainability of these measures that the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister have decided”he added.
At the beginning of the summer of 2022, François Braun, just appointed Minister of Health, had upgraded the guards by 50%as part of temporary measures that have since been regularly renewed.
Asked regarding the possible increase in patient participation in the payment of drugs, Mr. Rousseau recalled that the discussions concerning the health budget were “in progress” and that the government was watching “all scenarios” before the presentation of the social security financing bill in September.
“What is my major concern is that if we were to make progress on these subjects, we would not penalize the people who are the sickest, especially those with long-term conditions”he said.
