Much criticized during the CVIV-19 health crisis, Regional Health Agencies (ARS) are today in the viewfinder of the Socialist candidate in the presidential election, Anne Hidalgo, who proposes to delete them. “You have to replace the ARS. Today it’s useless,” she said Thursday, October 28 on BFM-TV.

“There must be a real coordination on the territories, what the ARS do not do, has it continued. These are species of accounting agents, they were created to contain the expenses health. “

On the move Wednesday in the Drôme on the theme of the public hospital and medical deserts, the Mayor of Paris had already mentioned this proposal. “The ARS should have started from the needs of the population, the real life of people,” she regretted, also wishing to “return to the pricing”. “I agree that each public euro must be well used”, but “medical acts can not respond to the constraints of what is profitable and not profitable,” she said.

M me Hidalgo also wishes that “care trades to others be upgraded”, to be more attractive. “These are not only words,” assured the one that provides “a great salary negotiation on wage, career and training issues”, in the private sector and in the public. “Yes, it costs money, but I prefer that, rather than spinning aid to businesses without conditions. I prefer that, rather than deleting the tax on fortune. (…) I prefer to put on the Money for hospitals to work, it’s a question of priority, “she said, when traveling to St. Vallier, where the hospital is threatened because of a lack of doctors.

“Sauté The CLAUSUS NUMBER”

While a published on Wednesday in Liberation shows that 20% of beds in university hospitals (CHU) and regional hospitals (CHR) are closed for lack of staff, the Mayor of Paris went to this Small working municipality of 4,000 inhabitants, forty-five minutes from Ter de Lyon. It is committed to calling the Prime Minister Jean Castex to try to save the hospital rehabilitation service, which welcomes post-stroke patients, suffering from degenerative diseases or large rugged roads, but who goes. Losing 45 from its 60 beds, with the departure of three of the four doctors of the service. “I come to say that health issues are a priority,” she explained. “The lack of doctors is not new,” she said, deploring a “lack of anticipation” of the authorities on the subject.

To fight against the lack of staff in hospitals, the mayor of Paris also wants “to completely blow the idea of ​​the numerus clausus,” she said Thursday morning on BFM-TV. If the government suppressed it for the start of the school year, it is now universities to set this quota, depending on their training capabilities and the health needs of the territory.

“This has prevented us for a very long time to recruit especially doctors, explained M me Hidalgo. In France, in our country, many young people who have this vocation, who can not access this career of medicine, go to Belgium or Romania to form. We lack doctors, 15,000 doctors a year should be trained in France, we form less than 10,000. “
