One striking maternity unit reopens, the other remains closed
The future mothers can again this Thursday push the door of the maternity of the Left Bank clinic In Toulouse. The midwives of the establishment have decided to return to work after five days of a hard and unprecedented strike, reserving the right to resume their movement if the negotiations on their workforce and the upgrading of their status do not advance. .
Their consumers at the Croix du Sud clinic, in Quint-Fonsegrives, who walked out on Wednesday morning, are however still on strike this Thursday. For the patients who are followed there, the regional health agency always advises not to go there but rather to dial 15 to be referred to another establishment by the Samu teams.
Staff requisitions not always followed
To guarantee the safety of births in the Toulouse region, the prefecture is continuing its requisitions for personnel. It recalls, for the third time, that does not respect these requisitions “is an offense which is the subject of a systematic report to the public prosecutor”.
In the private sector, midwives are paid 25% less on average than in the public sector.
