Tarbes-Lourdes Hospital: “We want a construction project in Tarbes, which integrates the reconversion of the current site”

“The project to build the hospital in Lanne obscures the problem of reconversion of the current site” underlines the political group “Tarbes pour Tous”, around Pierre Lagonelle, following the workshop held at the institute of nursing training, within the framework of the national commission for public debate (CNDP). “Not a single euro has been budgeted for this item, apart from €600,000 allocated for guarding for three years” they regret.

This is why the elected opposition representatives of “Tarbes for All” are proposing to the project leaders and the CNDP “a reflection on a hybrid project between new and old, which takes into account the reconversion of the Gespe site. In other words, the Lanne medical project suits us very well but we want it to be done in Tarbes. This would also have the advantage of delivering a more virtuous project, freed from the constraints and opposition linked to the environment, and therefore. as soon as possible.”

“This involves planning an expandable hospital, which is entirely possible on the Gespe site”

The elected officials are supported by doctors like Richard Cassou and Laurence Toneatti: “If we want to move towards the hospital of tomorrow, it is a question of planning a scalable, modular and above all extensible hospital, which is entirely possible on the Gespe site, but inconceivable in Lanne.

With our new construction project associated with the progressive use of old premises over time and needs, we can consider several avenues which could ultimately constitute a sort of health campus: a gerontopole, the evolution of maternity towards a mother and child center, a functional rehabilitation service, an extension of surgical services, a crèche, a telemedical platform, a multidisciplinary health center and finally a hotel and catering section.
