Laurent Garcia is a healthcare executive and a member of the Observatory of Old Age. The one who, in particular, participated in the triggering of the journalistic investigation of the book The Gravediggers on the nursing home is invited to the 11 p.m. Tuesday, March 29. According to him, the fact that the government’s investigation report is made public is a very good thing. However, it will not be in its entirety, to respect business secrecy.

If the regional health agency (ARS) has already submitted a report after visiting several establishments, “but we know from a reliable source that before the arrival of the ARS, there was already a lot of cleaning done”. Hence the importance that the government report be made public in its entirety, according to Laurent Garcia. “It has to validate what is written in the book by Victor Castanet (the author of Gravediggers)”he added.
