Will we be able to go to the emergencies of Feurs and Montbrison in the next few weeks? For the moment, it is not sure, at least six full-time equivalents are missing according to the mayors of the two municipalities. Christophe Bazile and Jean Pierre Taite rely on state support. A concern that does not really date from yesterday for Olivier Nicolas, president of the Defense and Support Committee of the Forez hospital center.
“You should know that the emergencies on the Feurs and Montbrison sites were already overdue in 2017 where we, the association for the defense and support of the Center hospitalier du Forez, went to the Ministry of Health in Paris, to be able to make it clear that it was necessary to defend an emergency service.”
“You have to understand the health system before you can make decisions”
The one who is also a doctor in Panissières denounces the opportunism of elected officials during the election period. “I think there is enthusiasm because we are in a legislative campaign. I am a little sad that we are only expressing ourselves openly from now on, when it has been more than ten years since we We are already in a very fragile state.”
For Olivier Nicolas, it is urgent to sit around a table. “We have been offering public meetings once or twice a year for the past ten years where we discuss so that we can build this health democracy and get feedback from the various players in the field. You have to understand the health system before you can make decisions and do proposals which are, for my part, from what I had heard from them, a little bit demagogue.”
