due to a strike, call 15 before going to the emergency room
For the fourth consecutive Monday, the emergencies of Purpan and Rangueil in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) will be affected by a strike movement by staff demanding more resources. From Sunday June 26, only vital emergencies will be taken care of by these services.
Despite progress at the start of the week, with the management of the CHU and the Regional Health Agency of Occitanie, the movement of discontent among the emergency personnel of Rangueil and Purpan in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) should continue on Monday June 26.
The Toulouse University Hospital is once again obliged “to adapt the activity of all of its emergencies and its medical and surgical services.“
In a statement, the hospital says:
· From Sunday, June 26, 2022, 7 a.m., in any case, we recommend that you contact the emergency medical aid service (SAMU Allo 15) before going to an emergency department from the University Hospital of Toulouse.
· From Sunday June 26, 2022 6 p.m., the adult emergencies of the Purpan hospital and the emergencies of the Rangueil hospital will only receive vital emergencies led by the SAMU (Allo 15)psychiatric emergencies will maintain the only consultations.
In recent days, proposals have been made to the strikers. But they turn out to be far from the expectations of the CGT in particular: i.e. 41 posts at Purpan, 22 at Rangueil and 27 for psychiatric emergencies. The management of the CHU is currently committed to hiring 16 additional people.
