Accompanied by Annie Salsé of the Departmental Health Union, the CGT secretary of the Hospital denounced the lack of clarity and the silence of the Regional Health Agency.< em> "She is the decision-maker for the future of this system.

"It's difficult to mobilize, we would like more people each time, that's true. But we will continue to fight, to denounce the situation for the users of the territory and the defense of the public service.

Also present, Jean-Luc Requi welcomed the upcoming sustainability of the CAPS and affirmed the desire of elected officials to see the emergency branch open 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. "It’is our fight too, facing the ARS which holds the purse string and which remains very discreet on the subject despite our requests. This is why we must continue to mobilize." explains the president of the Community of Communes, returning to the visit &amp ;quot;reassuring" by Michaël Delafosse a few days earlier and the release of the Lodève/Lodévois-Larzac Health Guide in his intervention.
