“Enough is too much, the psychiatric emergency workers can't take it anymore so we are calling on the minister to come and take stock of the situation in Toulouse,” denounced Julien Terrier, deputy general secretary of the CGT, this Thursday. at the Toulouse University Hospital (Haute-Garonne).
After the rape and sexual assault of two patients last weekend at Purpan hospital, the suicide of a patient hospitalized in the psychiatric emergency room of Purpan hospital this Wednesday prompted unions to sound the alarm on their working conditions.
On strike since mid-January to demand more financial and human resources, they believe that the public authorities are sabotaging Toulouse psychiatry.
“The management of the CHU is obstructing the Serious and Imminent Danger procedures filed by the unions, so we have notified the labor inspectorate which has taken up the matter,” continues Julien Terrier.
All projects by CHU professionals proposed to improve working conditions are refused by the Regional Health Agency (ARS) due to lack of resources.
Psychiatric emergencies are saturated, medical-psychological centers are unable to manage upstream, Functional Units are incapable of managing downstream emergencies and offering quality care to patients.”
