Question 27534 — hospital public service

Summary

Mr. Jean-Paul Lecoq questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health on the situation of midwives of the Le Havre hospital group, who work in the largest level 3 maternity ward in Normandy. While activity increased in 2019, this medical and paramedical staff underwent a new reorganization. This reorganization led to the elimination of 15 positions and the virtual closure of 6 beds, further shortening the duration of stays. Trained in kindness, good treatment, empathy and quality of care, these staff highlight dangers both for themselves and for patients. This maternity ward practices and monitors pregnancies and deliveries of all kinds, including serious maternal and fetal pathologies. Moreover, in the event of complications in other hospitals in the health area, future mothers and babies are transferred there. The population trusts this maternity hospital which must do more and more with fewer resources. The figures are alarming, particularly the fact that two professionals may be required to care for 32 patients (mother-child). A race for profitability is imposed on these professionals due to activity-based pricing in which only technical acts are billed. But the observation of the breast or bottle feeding, wrapped bathing, massage, listening and support are not taken into account in working time. However, without this work, the quality of patient care is degraded. Passionate about their profession which requires kindness, the staff of the gyneco-obstetric emergency department also seem to be the forgotten ones of the public hospital with the non-attribution of the bonus " called emergencies. He therefore questions her about the future arrangements made concerning midwives, particularly in Le Havre.
