Paid parking in a clinic near Toulouse: around thirty mayors to bend the Ramsay group
They don’t want to let go. There are now 27 rebellious mayors of northeast Toulouse to demand free parking at the Union clinic. The barrier was put in place last January and the Ramsay group, owner of the establishment, did not respond to the complaints of the city councilors.
Pay for parking “touches the most modest”
Saint-Jean, L’Union, Paulhac, Saint-Jean de Lherm, Bazus or Bonrepos-Riquet … They believe that nothing is being done “For low-income people” , “Retirees now obliged to stay shorter to visit their loved ones”. Parking at the clinic costs around 10 euros a day “Imagine over a month” ton Marc Péré. The mayor of L’Union was alerted by a citizen “Ticket she showed me her: 170 euros for three months, she earns 900 euros per month, it’s just not possible, it’s inhuman! “.
The Ramsay group would have proposed accommodations for disabled people, pregnant women, accompanying patients “These devices are illegible, inapplicable, in addition once the person wants to assert his rights, he faces a whole administrative device. In the end, it pays. “
“The shareholders want to recover 2 to 3 million euros per year”
“Let us not forget that the shareholders reap profits thanks to the reimbursements of the Social Security” underlines the mayor of Paulhac, Didier Cujives, for whom “Access to care is free in France, here this principle is flouted”. Especially as for the socialist “The Union clinic is the local hospital in northeast Toulouse: people come there for traditional medical consultations, there is an emergency department. An emotional bond links the clinic to the entire territory of northeast Toulouse ”.
“The shareholders of Ramsay want to recover 2 to 3 million euros per year and that’s it” loose Marc Péré for whom “Anger roars” in the population. A mayor present on Monday suggested that the management of the clinic did not intend to move the lines.
Several hundred people are expected on Saturday, November 20 at 3 p.m. on the forecourt of the clinic “And we hope to organize a mobilization every week until the management reacts” warns the mayor of L’Union. The petition posted on changer.org collected 17,000 signatures.
