La maison de retraite de Rousson, touché par des retards de paiements de l’hôpital d’Alès, son locataire, a été évoquée par les élus communautaires rassemblés ce mercredi 10 avril.

While recalling the delay mentioned, "I specify that the residents of this retirement home each pay approximately 2 000 € per month at the hospital, he says. Their rents, as far as they are concerned, are quickly collected! It's the retirement homes that make the hospital budget today, that's what makes me angry."

The sentence is also intended for the president of Alès Agglo Christophe Rivenq, also president of the supervisory board of the Alès hospital, who tempers: "The Alès hospital center was due to end the year 2023 with a deficit of 12 million euros. We managed to reduce this deficit to 4 million euros. There is indeed a big deficit problem, the hospital's payment deadline is currently eight months. This even pushes local suppliers to no longer respond to calls for tenders because they are aware of all these delays!"
