The InterUnion calls on its side at a rally Friday

Hospital practitioners of the Assistance publique-Hôpitaux in Paris (AP - HP), first French public hospital, does not release the pressure. Last night, they held an Assembly at the Pitié-Salpêtrière in the appeal of the movement for the defence of the public hospital (MDHP) and collectives of physicians and surgeons. A meeting to support the approach of very measured Professor Pierre Coriat, President of the Medical Committee (WEC), the "Parliament" of physicians. It was he who, in November, threw a keypad in the mare by threatening to resign from his administrative duties, as says the motion submitted to the General Assembly, "caregivers jobs medical and non-medical are removed without medical justification. Clearly, if prediction of suppression of close to 1,000 positions in 2010, including 138 equivalents (FTEs) medical, is confirmed in February.

Benoît Leclercq, Director General of the AP - HP, introduced in CME, last month, the financial framing multi-year future strategic plan 2010-2014, which envisaged while deleting nearly 3,500 stations here in 2012 ("Les Echos" from November 23). This, in a context where the AP - HP, which account 90,000 employees including a turnover of approximately 6,000 employees per year - must, here in 2012, save more than 300 million euros on the actions financed by the activity (T2A) pricing, while improving the supply of care. The institution is engaged in a broad restructuring of its establishments, with their 12 pole clustering, which the first must be operational in early 2010. But it raises the concern and distrust of the employees.

"Online first".

Behind Pierre Coriat, 902 physicians, including 31 Chairmen of CCM (Medical Advisory Committee) on 37, 118 heads of pole on 175 and 425 heads of approximately 800 service, have them also promised to resign, according to the MDHP. "The medical community is convinced that with the hospital, patients, health and territory (HPST) Act, it is now in the front line to defend the institution," said Pierre Coriat. "GCE is the only independent institution which can defend the AP - HP, but it cannot do that if it has completed the modernization of the provision of care and restructuring resulting", he added.

Evidence that the blood of doctors kick started to be heard, Branch proposed to reduce the decrease in the number of medical posts to 51 FTES, against 138 originally planned for 2010. After a meeting with Pierre Coriat last week at the Ministry of health, it was recorded that GCE would propose in January of "restructurants projects that will achieve margins of manoeuvre and therefore jobs, but certainly below what wanted guardianship", he continues. Negotiations will be held with management prior to present the results in February the Minister of health, Roselyne Bachelot. To the Ministry, on specified ' he "will not, in 2010, withdrawal of jobs by technocratic dusting" and that "the Elimination of 1,150 jobs figure is not a Department, is an administrative computing".

But if the dialogue has not broken with the direction, doctors maintain the mobilization against the proposed deletion of close to a thousand of non-medical staff positions. The Inter-Union calls on its side at a rally Friday. "The threat of resignation is real." "I do not want to go to a case of the institution", warns Pierre Coriat. "If we fight, it's because job losses decreased the ability to access to care, and therefore the mission of public service." "But the restructuring will not suffice to eliminate 1,000 jobs", feared the Professor Bernard Granger (hôpital Cochin), Secretary of the MDHP and prominent opponent of the law HPST.
