Question 12750 — health establishments

Summary

Ms. Anna Pic questions the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities, on the difficulties encountered by public health establishments and their emergency services. The public hospital has for too long been faced with a context of crisis, which is the result of several decades of accounting management illustrated by bed closures, chronic underinvestment, or the reform of the hospital financing. This situation creates degraded working conditions (increased workload and lack of human and material resources in particular) for medical and paramedical personnel already exposed to significantly greater constraints than in other sectors: time intensity, time and physical constraints, strong emotional demands or even value conflicts. From this state of affairs results in a loss of attractiveness of the care professions which is obviously not without impact on the functioning of hospitals and reinforces the crisis context in which they find themselves. France therefore finds itself in a form of guilty cycle with chain consequences on the functioning of health establishments, the well-being of caregivers and, ultimately, the reception conditions of patients. If measures were announced following of the exceptional mobilization of the public hospital during the epidemic waves of covid-19, this appears insufficient to absorb the deterioration at work. Indeed, recent testimonies still attest to a shortage of available places forcing caregivers, in an advanced state of fatigue and nervousness, to install patients in unsuitable places, to a shortage of equipment which is nevertheless essential in winter, or of a completely disproportionate waiting time to obtain an exam. She asks him his intentions to provide solutions to public health establishments.
