The various left-wing forces of the New Popular Front call on Saturday, January 4, for various measures, including a vote in the National Assembly, to “repair the public hospital and access to local care.”
“The crisis is systemic: it is the result of years of exclusively budgetary management of the public hospital, ignoring the alerts and requests of caregivers and the needs of patients,” wrote the former NFP candidate in a letter to Matignon Lucie Castets, the coordinator. from La France included Manuel Bompard, the first secretary of the PS Olivier Faure, the national secretary of the environmentalists Marine Tondelier and several elected communist officials.
Proposal to establish a minimum number of caregivers per hospitalized patient
The text is also signed by other left-wing elected officials and several caregivers. They ask for a citizen, political and activist mobilization “during the entire month of January” to influence the approval of a budget in Parliament that “finally gives the public health system the means to function correctly”, considering that it must break with the project . defended by the previous Barnier government.
The signatories also intend to defend the approval by Parliament of a socialist bill, aimed at establishing a minimum number of caregivers per hospitalized patient.
This text, already voted on in the Senate, must be examined on January 23 in the Assembly, on the occasion of the annual day reserved for the examination of legislative proposals presented by the socialist group.
The letter also calls for a mobilization to defend the adoption of a bill to fight against medical deserts, which attacks in particular the freedom of establishment of doctors.
Signed by 237 deputies from all sides (except from the RN and the UDR, Eric Ciotti’s group), this transpartisan text was presented in the Assembly at the beginning of December, but, for the moment, it has not been included in the order of the day.
