Because of threats of closing influencing CH DRON as regards urgent surgical operations (at nights, weekend and bank holidays), I met mister Claude GALAMETZ, Regional President of the Hospital Federation of France, and the doctor Michel CHENAUD, Pr sident de la Commission Medical of the Hospital complex of Tourcoing. Following these meetings, I am interceded with ARH. The answer of the manager de l' ARH is rather reassuring, even if I remain naturally vigilant on the maintaining of the activities of a hospital complex of which Tourcoing can be proud and that has competitive teams, which you should be necessary neither reduce, nor demotivate.

As he is seen, rather than to deliver me, as some elected representatives who he appears are responsible, in a politicking gesticulation on the worn-down topic of the disengagement of the State, I preferred treating this question which holds me particularly in heart, since she touches the health, in a discreet way and for which I hope efficient.

below:

The regional agency of the hospitalisation is meant to be reassuring on the maintaining of the reception of surgical emergency in CH DRON, the night, the weekend and bank holidays.

The threats of closing which influence surgical operations urgently, that is to say nights, weekends and bank holidays, in CH DRON, had made the object of a motion, voted in almost unanimity during the last town council. The tourquennois elected representatives had then brought their support of a service of near health. The mayors of villages in the basin of exercise of the hospital complex, the deputies had also written to the manager of the regional Agency of the hospitalisation (ARH) to defend the maintaining of these activities.

Christian Vanneste, deputy of the 10th district, transmitted us a copy of the answer of the manager of the ARH, "rather reassuring", he judges.

In this mail dated from March 12th, Dominique Deroubaix writes as well as as for the hospital complex of Tourcoing, it exists no threat. ARH wants, on the other hand, to persuade the establishment that the development is widely based on a partnership real and balanced with the neighbouring establishments of health. Because for ARH, the objective of the plan of regional network of emergency reflexion consists in better mailler the different services concerned within regions, under any circumstances to close structures or to lighten the device Nevertheless, is thrown.

Several studies were driven in 2007 and 2008, follows the manager of the ARH in his mail. All available data show a fragile situation from the point of view of surgical demography (25 % surgeons of the region are more than 55 years old) and a very weak activity of surgical emergency at nights, weekends and bank holidays. It is necessary to contemplate these inevitable data. With this effect, a committee of regional piloting will be made responsible for establishing a definite discount of these activities for the 1st quarter 2009.

In view of this analysis, possible evolutions of organisation will be offered. From 2010 and in keeping with establishments and their teams. A notice of strike was deposited to the hospital complex by March 19th.
