Après les représentants institutionnels, les syndicats ont pris la parole lors de la cérémonie des vœux du centre hospitalier Emile-Borel.

After the speeches of the institutional representatives, the floor was given to the union representatives of the Émile-Borel hospital center. « 2023 will remain the worst year in terms of the reduction in healthcare provision in our territory, declared Régine Sauveplane, CGT secretary. The closure of more than 50% of the hospital supply has had deplorable consequences for patients. It was a very difficult time for the staff. »

For 2024, the secretary hopes for “the total reopening of services with a capacity corresponding to authorizations” and “serious and effective recruitment by providing the necessary means. » Régine Sauveplane wants "quality social dialogue in line with the Saint-Affricaine tradition." She calls for the complete renovation of the operating theater and full management for the Saint hospital -Affrique "which will be able to work in good harmony" with neighboring hospitals.

Régine Sauveplane wishes "the end of one-way pooling, counterproductive for our hospital" as well as "the maintenance of health coverage for emergencies like her exists today, even increased to meet the growing needs of residents for lack of general practitioners." 

"Our goals converge"

Lucie Carrere, from the Sud union, asks to move from words to actions. You, elected officials and management, but also all decision-making bodies, it is high time that you commit to respecting your agents, their work, their resilience and their fight in the face of the ordeals they have undergone. We ask that we continue to work in our hospital and live here in our territory with respect for everyone and for the common good." Expectations to which Sophie Tort, deputy director of the hospital, has answered: "I think that our objectives for the most part converge and I think that we will be able to work together. Working in conflict and anger is not constructive for anyone." 

No envelope marked by the ARS

Questionné on the sidelines of the greeting ceremony by Midi Libre on the position of the Regional Health Agency (ARS) concerning the renovation of the operating theater, Benjamin Arnal, director of the Aveyron delegation, responded: "For 2024, it There is no earmarked envelope for the renovation of the block. But it’s à the hospital establishment to prioritize its investments according to its public allocations and its revenues." As for the date envisaged for the laying of the first stone of the future common hospital, his answer is: “end of 2025, beginning of 2026.” ;quot;
