“Justice continues its course, in independence, which is yours.” In a statement transmitted to BFMTV, the Minister of Health, Catherine Vautrin, reacted to the complaint for moral harassment and involuntary homicide that appeared against Elisabeth Borne and herself to denounce suicides of caregivers of the public hospital.
“I will not comment at this stage” in this procedure, said Catherine Vautrin, asking “respect for all families and a dignified and human discussion about these serious issues.” “It’s not about denying difficulties, quite the opposite: they must unite in action, not in division,” he added.
This complaint was filed on Thursday, April 10 on Thursday, April 10, with the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) by 19 people, caregivers and widowers, and also points to violations of voluntary violence that led to death without the intention of giving it and endangering the person, the lawyer of the complaints announced on Monday, Christelle Mazza, confirming information on the France between and the world.
“Mortal” working conditions
Elisabeth Borne is white as Minister of Education and Higher Research. When asked, his ministry expressed “his support for caregivers and near the caregivers who would have faced human dramas of such severity.” The Ministry also “reaffirmed its commitment to fully cooperate with the judicial authorities.” The delegated minister responsible for health and access to care Yannick Neuder is also concerned about accusations.
“I want to repeat, with gravity and emotion, that we think of all the families affected by these dramas. Nothing can relieve the pain of loved ones confronted with the loss of a loved one, especially when it occurs in the professional framework,” said Catherine Vautrin this Monday.
“The mental health and well -being of health professionals are an absolute priority for the ministry of which I am responsible and for the Government. I know the strength of its commitment,” he added.
“The hospital has experienced a great crisis for many years that seems to have worsened since around 2012-2013, for the continuous application of neoliberal public policies that, despite many particularly disturbing alert signs, of which suicides, have not been corrected, otherwise,” is written in the preamble of the complaint. The degradation of working conditions has accelerated since the COVVI-199 health crisis of the Spring of 2020, says Mazza.
The complaint, consulted by BFMTV, denounces “completely illegal and mortal working conditions”, “unbearable rhythms” in different medical bodies, specialties and regions of France, as well as “the organized impunity against the authors of the facts.”
Several suicides denounced
“The alerts rose by file individually or systemically they are completely ignored,” is specified. “There was no political awareness or the desire to modify the dismantling of the public hospital.” They are cited as an example of three establishments, located in Alsacia, Hérault and Yvelines, which “know a wave of particularly worrying suicides, without any measure implemented, participating in an institutional denial.”
An occupational health nurse, who hung in his office in September 2023, involved in “several letters”, is reported: “DRH harassment behavior (Human Resources Department) but also the organization of work in a victim totally of occupational health disaster.” Two nurses also committed suicide in this establishment specialized in psychiatry, according to the complaint.
The CJR is the only jurisdiction trained to continue and judge government members for crimes committed in the exercise of their functions.
