Question 11837 — elderly people

Summary

Mr. Jean-Paul Dufrègne alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the need to respond as quickly as possible to the demands of representatives of the elderly care sector. On January 30 and March 15, staff and users in the elderly care sector massively expressed their difficulties. These movements of an unprecedented scale revealed unbearable working conditions for staff but also the unacceptable living conditions of our elders. The category associations and unions representing employees, users and families have raised the same cry of alarm and formulated several demands: the application of an agent or an employee per resident in establishments as provided for by the old-age solidarity plan, and the increase in the time spent with elderly people kept at home, the improvement of remuneration and qualifications, the repeal of the legislative provisions relating to the reform of the pricing of EHPADs and the cessation of reductions in allocations induced by price convergence with the maintenance of all staff in establishments and at home, including subsidized contracts. These demands received a wide response from the entire population. Several parliamentary reports and the work of the EESC have confirmed the urgency of allocating additional resources to the elderly care sector. The Ministry of Solidarity and Health seems to be prepared to respond in part to the demands. But no concrete response has been provided to the fundamental complaint, namely the creation of additional positions necessary for dignified care of our elders and the improvement of remuneration as well as prospects. professionals and careers, within the framework of the status and national collective agreements. He would like to know the concrete measures accompanied by precise deadlines that the Government intends to put in place to truly meet needs and ultimately respond to a major issue, that of the place of our elders in our society.
