Minister Dubé,
Jean Cocteau said: “Since things are beyond us, let us pretend to be their organizers. Your project to create a new healthy structure to take care of the land is a sad joke.
If the managers of the system, who are on site, who are responsible for managing the field, are not able to manage the day-to-day of their establishment, what will happen when it comes to an external structure? ? The minister wishes for a miracle!
The problems of the network are well-known: under recurring funding, a Barrette reform which has created megastructures whose management apparatus is ineffective, even harmful, since it is too far from the field. Tell me, what do a CHSLD, a CLSC, a youth center, a rehabilitation center, etc. have in common? ? Each establishment has its own mission. This does not prevent collaborations, without necessarily merging them!
Second, compulsory overtime for nurses. It has been decried for a long time. To overcome the problem, managers are calling on agencies to offer day shifts while the nurses in place are forced to work evenings and nights. An absurdity!
First of all, the responsibilities should be given back establishment by establishment, by a responsible local management. Next, force managers to use agencies only as a last resort, as was the case 20 years ago, and above all force agencies to offer only evening and night shifts. In short, some practical solutions capable of solving some of the problems. Ideologically, for more than 20 years, the politicians in power, Mr. Charest, Mr. Couillard and now MM. Legault and Dubé, have the will to transfer to the private sector the greatest possible number of care. This orientation, harmful for the public network, will eventually cause it to implode. What is happening. And what is probably the hidden intention of this government. We are not out of the woods!
