“At the end of April, our government announced that it would release 650 million for nursing homes [dont les trois quarts sont en déficit, NDLR]recalls Alexandre Robert, departmental secretary FO Santé 37. Knowing that France has around 11,000 nursing homes, this would barely represent €60,000 per establishment, which is largely insufficient given the financial and human shortages.”
With the inter-union FO, SUD, CFE/CGC and the collective “Our health in danger”, he calls on staff in the geriatric sector (HAD, EHPAD, ADMR, SSIAD, residences, senior services) to come together on May 16 2024 at 3 p.m., in front of the Regional Health Agency (ARS), rue Édouard-Vaillant in Tours for “request means to guarantee the quality of care for users and the improvement of their working conditions”. A delegation will be received at 1:30 p.m. by the departmental director of the ARS. A departmental strike notice has been filed for the day, assure the unions.
Sick leave increasing
“The situation in the establishments has become unsustainable, explains the inter-union press release. The workload is intensifying, sick leave is increasing, as are the incessant call-backs for replacements at short notice, sacrificing the rest necessary for body and mind. This results in staff fleeing no longer finding the balance between professional and personal life. »
And to judge the rates requested from beneficiaries “exorbitant and unacceptable taking into account the savings made at the expense of their well-being! “, while deploring that “the promises of laws, whether they are called “old age” or “aging well”, do not propose anything concrete”.
