Question 15031 — health establishments

Summary

Mr. Pierre-Yves Cadalen alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People about the ongoing mobilization at the Keraudren polyclinic, in Brest. For fifty days, the employees of this health establishment - belonging to the Elsan group - have been mobilized against a “reorganization” project carried out by management. This project affects the cardiology and maternity services and the continuous monitoring unit. Union representatives estimate that fifteen positions are in danger: midwives, nurses, childcare nurses, caregivers, etc. Reorganization projects systematically follow purely accounting logics and are disconnected from real needs in terms of healthcare provision. Job cuts, whether through dismissal or non-replacement of retirements, have an impact only on the care itself but also on the human dimension of hospitalization: caregivers are needed to interact with patients and reassure them, to ensure their hygiene when they are not able to do it themselves, to help their loved ones better understand and overcome their pathology. This accounting logic dehumanizes care. While the movement lasts, Elsan's leadership shows itself particularly casual by granting almost no meetings to employees and refusing any negotiation. Private establishments of course have the right to exist. The MP does not forget, however, that they are financed by social security and common contributions and that their mission cannot decently be summed up by the principle of profitability. This is why he asks her what she intends to do to promote dialogue within establishments of the Elsan group and in particular at the Keraudren polyclinic.
