After the Covid crisis, hospitals are facing the emergency crisis, as in Bordeaux where the CHU was forced to switch to “degraded mode”. However, for a few weeks now, a new puzzle has been agitating the various health structures: the lack of staff in the summer. To cope, the University Hospitals will have to bring caregivers back on their leave. The directors of the establishments ask the new government for the means to pass this difficult course.
Thus, this summer, already warn the directions, it will be necessary to run the services with less staff. Some caregivers will also be forced to go back on their leave.

To compensate them for this new sacrifice after years marked by the Covid-19 epidemic, Professor Rémi Salomon, who heads the Conference of the medical commissions of establishments of the CHUs of France is already demanding money from the future Minister of Health, not yet appointed by Prime Minister Élisabe Borne.
On franceinfo, he believes that “This is the first file that the Minister of Health must take. There must be credits, budgets. I think there should be no discussion on these points. Returning to your leave is complicated: few professions would be happy to return to work. We love our job, but at some point, the task is still very restrictive. It must be paid for: that we pay well for overtime immediately, that we pay well for additional hours, that we pay well for returns from leave … All of this must be paid for.
“It may be an envelope that will be important on a national scale, but, at the same time, can we accept no longer having access to care? It is not possible”

To manage the shortage of staff in the CHUs, hospital officials are also counting on the regional health agencies to fill the on-call lists this summer, by calling on caregivers who practice in the city.
